  • Preethi Srinivasan believes that the key to success is not solid at any place, however, if people know how to evaluate, encounter and face challenges, the doors to success will start to open automatically. In the journey to attaining success, confidence is one characteristic that everyone struggles with at one point, but Preethi Srinivasan achieved this by trusting her abilities and by being comfortable in her own skin.
    Preethi Srinivasan is the co-founder of Soulfree along with her mother, Mrs. Vijayalakshmi Srinivasan. Growing up as a national level swimmer and a state level cricket player, Preethi Srinivasan had a freak accident in Pondicherry, India. She completely lost her identity in the span of a split second from being a bright young student and sportsperson to a person confined to a wheelchair for over 14 years now.
    With her family as her backbone, she reached a state of equipoise that allows her to smile despite desperately heart wrenching circumstances.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Beautifully said! A kidney warrior here. Most people are “compassion disabled” and that is the only true disability, yet it’s invisible and neither is it measured.

    I identify with her, with her parents, the value of love and faith have unimaginable rewards, my quadriplegic son since he was 18 years old, we always love and support him, we transmit our faith to him, he believed in him and today he has two professions, is studying a third, has a wife and two daughters, is in charge of a department at the largest university in Ecuador, all human beings are valuable, but we need to feel loved, valued and accepted

    An absolutely fantastic and poignant speech from Preethi! I just wonder how she felt about the audience continuing to clap in between her talk. She speaks of how she wants to be treated the same as others and yet the audience clapped numerous times when she just spoke about her quotidian life (kind of inspiration p**n). Not that she doesn’t deserve the praise, she ABSOLUTELY does, but I think her speech goes beyond just her physical circumstances. It’s about her own instinctual resiliency. Idk.

    There is a fine rehab institution in Vellore for paraplegics and quadriplegics, built by Dr Mary Verghese who herself is a paraplegic, fondly known as Dr on wheels, started in the 1960s, only one of its kind on India, her famous book is called “ take my hands” I think lot of Indians do not know that there is a institution like this,
    It is really worth visiting it. Indian government honored her with Padmashri award. It is all in google, Appreciate this young lady advocating for spinal injury victims.

    Preethi Sreenivasan this was a really beautiful and moving talk. I very much support the idea of changing perspectives, and multi-perspective views overall. I went through your website and look forward to supporting you. Have you ever looked into strategy tools like theory of change or business model canvas? Perhaps they could help present a clearer picture. Warm regards!

    Preethi you are truly an inspiration for the world. May God's grace be always with you. Contentment comes from within and that's what makes a human being happy. No one can give you that it has to be realized by being grateful for the little things that you have. You have to be grateful that you are alive as so many do not see the dawn of the next day.
