About us

Atypical Advantage is India’s largest livelihood platform for Persons with Disabilities(PWD). Whether it is a singer looking for a show, a visual artist looking to sell their paintings, or job seekers with disabilities looking for career opportunities, it bridges the supply & demand side inefficiencies so that Persons with Disabilities can earn a dignified income. We have a large pool of 15,000+ talents with disabilities and have worked with 250+ corporates within a short span of 3 years. We were also featured on Shark Tank Season 2 and were declared the winner of the prestigious National Startup Award under the social impact category by the Union Government

Our Journey

Having tried to hire a voice-over artist and a model with a disability out of curiosity for a leading corporate and struggling to find anything, Vineet envisaged a platform where anyone with a disability can showcase their talent and everyone can hire them. He was contemplating the immense employment it could generate and bring a radical shift in mindsets. And this labour of love has turned into a reality; any person with a disability in any part of the country with talent can sign up to gain a livelihood. Vineet urges corporates, individuals and agencies to look at the talent first and then their disability.
