Mr Ravindra Singh is a native of Madhya Pradesh. Mr Ravindra Singh was diagnosed with polio at the age of eight months. Their family relocated to Mumbai in order to get him better care and therapy.
Mr Ravindra Singh's mother was determined to provide him with a solid education since it would enable him to become self-sufficient and to safeguard his future.
Mr Ravindra Singh struggled to get into a school because not all institutions are built to accommodate physically challenged kids. His mother persisted, and with the assistance of their neighbours, they were able to obtain his entrance to a good English medium school.
Mr Ravindra Singh worked as a pre-sales executive after graduating in science. Over the next six years, he worked in three different organisations, gaining valuable experience in the pre-sales and lead generation verticals. During that time, he also finished his MBA in operations.
In 2010-11, he decided to strike out on his own, which led to the formation of his first company, Spacecos Solutions. They were in the lead generation industry. It was a technology-enabled business that had a positive response from the market. Mr Ravindra Singh had to do a lot of physical commuting in order to meet clients, the business grew rapidly. His physical immobility began to impede him because not all of the locations were easily accessible to him.
Mr Ravindra Singh discovered a hand-operated car driving option. He bought the car and learnt to drive it . This gave him a lot of flexibility to roam around, and his life changed radically.
Mr Ravindra Singh had a positive demeanour and was an avid networker. He joined several networking forums and established himself. He understood from experience that life was difficult for persons who had mobility issues. This inspired his second startup, myUDAAN, a mobility ecosystem for the elderly and persons with impairments.
Since its beginning, myUDAAN has gained great traction. They received a lot of interest from prominent incubation centres.
Mr Ravindra Singh was overwhelmed by his family's, friends', and well-wishers' efforts and support. He did not want to be a burden on others; instead, he wanted to give as much as he could back.
"Be a part of the solution, not the issue." This cognitive process became deeply ingrained in Mr Ravindra Singh. Physical challenge was no longer a barrier to his development with this perspective.
