CEO Travel Entries

On 18 February 2023, Hemant met an interesting Auto Driver who drove using a steering wheel.

Iyappan is a Cancer survivor, an accident survivor, an Electronics Engineer, a Public Health Worker for Polio Drops initiative and so much more. During his commute, Hemant learnt that Iyappan worships Abdul Kalam and his own Mother.

When the accident impacted his right arm, Iyappan decided to alter his Auto to make driving earlier for him; His accelerator and clutch system are controlled using his feet.

“Iyappan’s attitude to life is simply inspirational and listening to him made my journey to the bus stand a huge learning experience” Hemant commented.

Life is not about encountering challenges because that we all do, eventually one way or the other. But only few of them understand those challenges in the truest sense of purpose and grow on them.
