Born with a condition which led Mr. Nipun to having no muscles in his limbs, he was strapped to a wheelchair since the very start. Yet battling against all odds he took admission in St Stephens, New Delhi and led the college to change its tradition and bring down the classes to ground floor and today it is the most accessible college in this country. His organization awards the disabled friendly corporate houses, and works to make this country more accessible.


Nipun Malhotra was born with Arthrogryposis, a rare congenital disorder leading to a lack of muscles in arms and legs and thus commutes on a wheelchair.  The World Economic Forum has recognized him as a Global Shaper.
