On this episode, Sameera Reddy chats with Upasana Makati, founder and editor of White Print, India’s first ever lifestyle magazine that is entirely in Braille. Upasana talks about how a late night, out-of-the-box thought led to her conviction for creating an inclusive space for people with blindness, what we often don’t consider as sighted people and the challenges of running a for-profit business in a space that’s often associated with charity.
