Empowering the differently abled | Jayasankar SS | TEDxFISAT

Jayasankar SS, the founder of Oorjja, speaks about the ecosystem that Oorjja is and how it empowers the hearing impaired community. Through the "influencers" in the life of a Person with disability, Oorjja transforms him/her to a differently abled person by acting as an incubation platform that nurtures one's innate abilities and talent. Jayasankar SS is the founder of Oorjja, a professional ecosystem for empowering the differently abled community. An engineer by qualification and a banker by profession, he left the corporate world after 22 years, as the Senior Vice President at HDFC Bank, to pursue his dream of providing a platform for empowering the differently abled. He believes that the differently abled should be taught to be independent and employable on the basis of their skills and not on the basis of sympathy. Oorjja is currently focussed on the hearing impaired community but has plans to spread their branches to other sections of the differently abled population. The mentorship program is a combination of classroom sessions as well as training with partner corporate organizations, thus providing each person, the skills to succeed in the job market. Mr. Jayasankar believes that the differently abled are what they are labelled. Differently abled, not disabled. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
