In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham speaks with Sameer Latey, a finance professional with over 25 years of corporate experience, currently working at Reliance Industries.
Despite losing his vision completely in 2000, Sameer pursued Chartered Accountancy, navigated articleship without digital accessibility, and steadily built a successful career in finance and accounting. From Tally and SAP to mergers, acquisitions, and taxation, his professional footprint spans major organizations across Mumbai.
Beyond work, Sameer is actively involved with Snehankit Helpline, mentoring others, developing screen reader-compatible Tally training, and supporting blind students with accessible study materials. In this conversation, he shares:

Working in diverse roles at Union Bank, MCX, and Reliance
Tips on navigating corporate life as a blind professional
How screen readers, self-learning, and teamwork shaped his career
