Akshansh Gupta, 32, has just completed his doctorate from India’s prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in brain and computer interface. Mr Gupta has cerebral palsy, a neurological condition that severely limits his movements and speech capability. He cannot walk, operate his own wheelchair or even feed himself. India has more than 25 million disabled people but the country severely lacks proper infrastructure to support them.
