What is happening at Atypical Advantage? <Tap to Know>
As the world welcomed 2025, voices came together in perfect harmony to create an unforgettable New Year's celebration! Guests at The Lalit were treated to an inclusive lunch infused with music, love, and inspiration. Soul-stirring musical performance by talented individuals with disabilities, across eight cities was the highlight of the afternoon. The audience was mesmerized, showering the performers with heartfelt applause and words of encouragement. "Superb!" "Amazing!" "What a performance!" As the year began with such warmth and kindness, it filled our hearts with hope and optimism for the days to come.
We curated a grand immersive experience at Reliance Retail, designed to challenge perceptions and deepen understanding of disability inclusion. Participants stepped into the lives of people with disabilities at four powerful experiential booths: The Blindfold Challenge, Sign Language Booth, Twisted Vision, and Wheelchair Maze Race. It was a journey of transformation. With over 500+ employees in attendance, this event marked a significant milestone in our sensitizing journey.
"It was a humbling experience." "Felt in person what it feels like to be without vision." "It was a great initiative, and I'm so proud to be working with a company like Reliance that cares about inclusion."
These were just a few of the many heartfelt comments we received post-event.
As the year drew to a close, Atypical Advantage wanted to express heartfelt gratitude to its valued stakeholders and to celebrate their contributions we curated a unique "Basket of Love." This thoughtful basket contained a stunning, handcrafted artistic bottle created by Varun Naren, an artist on the Autism Spectrum, and a vibrant diary designed by Budh Singh, an artist with Locomotor Disability. To make it even more special, we added a stress-buster toy, room fresheners, chocolates, bookmarks, and a reusable jute bag. Accompanied by a heartfelt message from our CEO, conveying our deepest appreciation for their support and partnership, this gesture was a small token of our gratitude, celebrating the spirit of inclusivity and creativity that defines our community.
As we step into 2025, our resolution remains unchanged: 'Be Inclusive.'
For the past four years, this commitment has guided us, and this year, we invite you to join us in embracing it more deeply. Let's open our hearts, celebrate our differences, and craft a world where everyone feels valued and welcome.
