✈️ 🏥 Everyone has been to an airport. Everyone has been to a hospital. So why is it so much easier to find a boarding gate than an ICU?

In Episode 3 of Deconstructing Accessibility, host Danish Mahajan sits with Anubha Singal (Co-Founder, Enable Me Access) and Manika Bhalotia (Accessibility Research Associate, Enable Me Access) to ask why hospitals are harder to navigate than airports.

They talk signage, colour coding, wayfinding, and the stress and anxiety patients face — and why fixing this could change hospital design across India.

Deconstructing Accessibility is a Radio Udaan series in collaboration with AccessAlly, an initiative of Enable Me Access. New episode every Sunday, 9 PM.

💍 Finding a life partner is one of the biggest challenges faced by many persons with disabilities and their families. At Radio Udaan, we are working to provide a meaningful solution through our Disability Matrimony Initiative.

We publish matrimony profiles on the Radio Udaan YouTube channel, where interested individuals and families can connect directly with each other. The further process is carried out by the families themselves.

We are happy to share that these profiles have been viewed by more than 20,000 people, and 5 couples have already found their life partners and got married through this initiative! ❤️
