About

Hi, I’m Sai Kaustuv Dashgupta, known as the "Wheelchair Warrior of India"! Despite living with brittle bones and enduring over 50 fractures, I’ve turned my journey into a mission of inspiration, inclusion, and happiness.

Global Changemaker

Mar 2024Present · 2 yrs 1 mo · Greater London, England, United Kingdom · Remote

  • As a Global Changemaker, my journey has been fueled by resilience, determination, and a steadfast commitment to inclusivity. Growing up with a disability, I witnessed the stark inequalities faced by Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in India. Despite my challenges with brittle bone disease and hearing impairment, I transformed my life experiences into a mission to uplift and empower others, reaching beyond national borders to impact communities worldwide. My work aligns deeply with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in striving for reduced inequalities (Goal 10) and advocating for inclusive, accessible urban spaces (Goal 11).
  • Through my Happiness Coaching, I've reached millions, showing them that disabilities are no barrier to achieving one's potential. From Bengaluru’s vibrant streets to global stages like the United Nations, I’ve advocated for accessibility, universal design, and the inclusion of all, regardless of ability. As I continue this journey with The Changemaker's Alliance in London, I’m driven by a vision of a world where everyone is valued, respected, and included. Every step I take as an advocate, a speaker, and a mentor brings us closer to a future of equality and belonging for all.
