ABBF’s sole reason to be is to build an inclusive world for persons with and without disability.By organising outdoor sports activities, we encourage dialogue and build empathy between persons with and without disability. For all participants, these interactions result in enhanced life skills, increased self confidence, better social skills, and a heightened awareness of the need for an equitable world.
At nineteen, Divyanshu Ganatra lost his eyesight to glaucoma. Despite the challenges, he pursued a career as a clinical psychologist and became India’s first blind pilot. Why? Because he simply could not reconcile with what the world was trying to tell him: that the rest of his life would be spent making cane furniture and chalk pieces. And this need to do more, be more, say more was what led to the birth of Adventures Beyond Barriers Foundation (ABBF). An organisation aimed at eradicating the stigma that surrounds disability even today.
In effect, Divyanshu lost his sight, but gained a vision: to promote empathy and inclusivity for all; to create a world where no one is left behind. And that is the very heart of ABBF.
Architect. Auditor. Accessibility whisperer. For 25+ years, Vidula has been reshaping how India approaches inclusive design. As Principal Architect at KUL KONZEPTS, she leads projects across architecture, interiors, landscape, and sustainability. Always with inclusion at the core. Her real drive, though, is making spaces work for everyone, especially persons with disabilities in less-resourced settings. She trains architects, audits buildings with a sharp eye and a softer nudge toward universal design.
Catch her off-desk and she’s likely on-site. Armed with a tape measure, a camera, and her mission to make every space more accessible.
After running, cycling, and paragliding with ABBF as a participant, Chandrakant switched to an ABBF crew jersey! As our Outreach Executive, he helps ABBF grow by building bridges with other foundation partners. When he is not helping PwDs discover new events, navigate commutes, and feel right at home in the ABBF community, he can be found reading a book or listening to Arijit Singh.
With a background in history and a personality that sticks, he makes sure every event is historically fun!
Here are just a few of the partners we’ve found on our journey to an equitable, empathetic, open world.
