CEO and Co-founder: Dipesh Sutariya brings 18 years of software experience and 5 years experience of building offshore companies. He is the “rock” who has steered Enable India’s thought leadership with the livelihood framework. He has created platforms and initiatives which have brought large scale impact for the disability sector. He has setup honeycomb structures to “setup, build, transfer, operate and maintain” for the various pieces of the livelihood puzzle. His mantra is “eye on the ball”, perhaps due to his passion for golf. He is on the board of Workability Asia. He is called a “saint” for being married to Shanti!
