In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, host George Abraham speaks with Rishabh Gupta from Raipur, Chhattisgarh — a young entrepreneur, author, and person with low vision whose journey is a powerful story of resilience, self-acceptance, and growth. Rishabh shares how his autobiographical book began as a personal journal during one of the most challenging phases of his vision loss journey and gradually evolved into an inspiring narrative that resonates with readers across age groups.
In this heartfelt conversation, he opens up about the emotional journey of accepting progressive vision loss, the struggle of hiding it during his school years, and the turning point that helped him embrace his identity with confidence. He also reflects on how humor, creativity, family support, and entrepreneurship helped him redesign his life, including building a company focused on reducing emissions and improving efficiency in thermal plants.
In this conversation, Rishabh discusses:
The inspiration behind writing his autobiographical book
His journey of accepting low vision and rebuilding confidence
School experiences and coping with vision loss in silence
Learning to use the white cane and embracing independent mobility
Building businesses while pursuing graduation
Working on emission reduction solutions for thermal plants
