Entertainment: Disability is not a barrier.

People with disabilities have been struggling to find adequate job opportunities even before the pandemic began, with their battle being worse today. Their plight is truly heartbreaking. 
 

They don’t ask for pity or sympathy. They demand a chance, an opportunity to prove their talents and their abilities. They want employers to judge them on the basis of what they are capable of doing and achieving. 

Atypical Advantage has been working towards consolidating people with disabilities who have exceptional talent from across the country into a single platform. Talent categories seeking jobs in industries ranging from corporate sectors like sign language interpreters, sales executives, graphic designers to entertainment sectors like music, dancing, singing, bands and magicians.
