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 50,000+ talents with disabilities and have worked with 500+ corporates within a short span of 5 years. We were also featured on Shark Tank Season 2 and were declared the winner of the prestigious National Startup Award for Social Impact, and the National Award for Best Organization empowering persons with disabilities in 2024, conferred by the President of India.

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.
