Nothing is impossible | Himanshu Bakshi | TEDxTheNorthCapUniversity

Born with dwarfism, Himanshu has had a life full of challenges. Kids and adults both made fun of him alike. The insensitivity and negativity hurt him but it also made his resolve strong to prove everyone wrong. He used his disability and successfully converted it into an opportunity. Today, Himanshu is a Chartered Accountant and also a lawyer. He stands 3 feet 8 inches tall and is now working with one of the top most consulting firms. He has also done management course from Harvard Business School. At this young age itself, he is an inspiration to many. He is a proud recipient of a lot of awards and has been featured by MAXIM, the renowned global fashion magazine, in their anniversary issue. An ardent debater, he has participated in a number of television shows. He has been actively working on creating awareness about the differently abled through print, radio and visual media. He is also a guest speaker at various industry forums like CII, FICCI etc. Recently he has been facilitated with CII YOUNG ACHIEVER AWARD. He was the youngest speaker at recently concluded BRICS ECONOMIC FORUM CONFERENCE last year. He was also conferred with Global Icon Award by Anti-Corruption Foundation of India. Himanshu was also among 270 people nationwide to be invited by President Barack Obama for his town hall meet held in Delhi in 2017. Himanshu has been writing articles for Hindustan Times, Times of India etc. In June 2018, he was facilitated by his excellency Governor of Haryana Mr. Kaptan Singh Solanki in Chandigarh for the outstanding efforts done for the Chartered Accountant fraternity. Himanshu is loud and clear when he mentions that differently abled don’t need sympathies, all they need is an opportunity and dignity. He is actively working with a number of NGOs in Delhi and doing his bit to make a difference in his own right. His motto in life is “Aspire to Inspire before you Expire”. He hopes to inspire people and let them know that disability is a state of mind and not physical attribute.
