Uligamma
Uligamma
Age 25, from Hyderabad, has coped with a 90% Locomotor Disability since childhood due to a health issue. Unable to attend school because of health problems and physical dependency, she didn’t give up. Instead, she learned the basics of writing and reading, as well as computer skills through YouTube. Now, she is writing a novel using the Prathi Lipi app. She also learned tailoring and beautician skills, overcoming societal judgments. She started her tailoring and saree business at home with a capital of 20,000 rupees, with her mother’s support. Due to a lack of business knowledge and marketing skills, she faced losses. Moreover, customers paid very little for her tailoring services because she operated from home without proper setup. When she approached bankers for financial support, they underestimated her due to her disability. Now, Ulligamma seeks help to start her own tailoring business, aiming for financial independence. Let’s support her journey to success!

Chirra Sateesh
Chirra Sateesh, residing in Mahabubabad District, Dantalapalli Mandal, Ramanujapuram, reveals that his 60% hearing impairment stems from his mother’s early marriage and maternal health complications. Despite this, he has pursued his graduation with determination. Throughout his academic journey, he narrates facing ridicule and obstacles but being fueled by parental support and the inspiration drawn from the biographies of eminent personalities. His zeal for learning led him to secure a job as a security guard, where he encountered various challenges, including stagnant wages and workplace discrimination. Despite adversities, he persevered and even discovered his passion for writing, winning accolades in national-level competitions. Now, seeking to transition into entrepreneurship, he expresses a need for financial assistance to realize his dream of empowering fellow differently-abled individuals through meaningful employment opportunities.
Usha Rani
Usha Rani
When she was a baby of 9 months, she was diagnosed with polio. Despite many obstacles and hurdles, she completed her graduation and earned a master’s in computer application. She worked as an IT professional for a few years and quit her job after getting married and becoming a mother. She was not very happy sitting idle at home, so started exploring new art and crafts forms. She was appreciated by her family, and friends for her unique artwork. She decided to start her own business. However, due to a lack of proper training and enough knowledge about entrepreneurship, she stepped back. Meanwhile, she met Vasundhara Koppula who shared her idea to start an incubator providing the necessary training, knowledge sharing, and providing financial and moral support for disabled persons to become entrepreneurs. She was pretty impressed with her versatile idea and decided to be part of this initiative. Thus her journey with De Hub started along with Vasundhara Koppula, the founder. She is also interested in starting E- an e-commerce website with tribal Art and craft products. So she also joined our program as one of the beneficiaries.
Hymavathi
Hymavathi
Hymavathi, 36, hailing from Jukalapalli Village in Bhupalali District, faced the challenge of losing her ability to walk due to polio in her childhood. Despite being from a lower-middle-class family with six sisters and parents working as a labourer and handloom workers, she demonstrated resilience. Initially confined to home, she fought for her education, directly securing a seat in the fifth class and completing her 10th grade in a government school with the help of a tricycle. Although she faced discrimination and challenges during her intermediate and postgraduate education, she persisted, setting up a small grocery shop at home and learning tailoring. Despite not finding employment due to her disability and lack of skills, she joined the De Hub training program, seeking to start an innovative business that suits her needs and proves her capabilities.
Madhavi
Madhavi
Madhavi’s unwavering belief that determination knows no disability is evident in her educational achievements: a B.A., B.Ed., M.A. in English, and an M.A. in Sociology. Supported by her parents, who ensured she received an education despite societal disbelief in her potential, she prepared for government exams and sought other job opportunities. Facing discrimination due to her disability, she learned beautician skills but struggled to find employment. Eventually, she worked in a Xerox shop designing wedding cards but found the salary insufficient. Through a business training program at DE-Hub, she gained hope of starting her own business. With her education and newly acquired business skills, she aims to become financially independent and a role model for others in her community.
