Born blind, entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla has opened the world’s eyes by triumphing against all the odds.
Srikanth Bolla, got a rejection from schools to college everywhere he faced discrimination then Rejecting a couple of job offers from multinational corporations in the US, Bolla decided to become an entrepreneur so that he could be a job-provider rather than be a job-seeker.
Srikanth Bolla’s entire life is a testimony to the manner in which he has defied considerable odds and driven change — in his own life and in those of others. He was born blind into a family of agriculturists in Seetharamapuram in Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh. That alone would have crushed a weaker spirit, but Bolla persisted — and has triumphed against adversity, fighting every step of the way, from getting an education to venturing into an entrepreneurial career. Today, he runs Bollant Industries Limited as its CEO, with five factories, employing over 650 people, nearly half of whom are differently abled men and women.
