Dear Ms. Vaishali Vora and others,

Thank you very much for your kind response and for consenting to participate in my research study. I sincerely appreciate your willingness to share your time and lived experiences—it will be invaluable to the depth and integrity of this research.

This study seeks to explore how individuals who have acquired disabilities at some stage in their lives navigate the world in new ways, and how they find meaning in their altered modes of being and doing. Your voice—and that of others with similar journeys—can help build an understanding that goes far beyond conventional narratives.

I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks to others who have come forward or are considering participating in this research. I would gently urge anyone reading this message: if you identify as a person with an acquired disability—or know someone who does—you (or they) are most welcome to participate in this study.

Please feel free to write to me directly if you or someone you know would like to be a part of this effort. 

Warm regards,
Dr. Tarun Kumar Vashisht
Assistant Professor
Indian Institute of Management Bodh Gaya

Dear Members of Access India,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am Dr. Tarun Kumar Vashisht, an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bodh Gaya and a legally blind academic. I have completed my PhD from the Indian Institute of ManagementAhmedabad, and I work extensively in the field of disability at the workplace, inclusion, identity, and social space.

I am currently undertaking a research project that seeks to explore the lived experiences of persons with disabilities who acquired their disabilities later in life—ideally during the course of career. The study aims to understand how such individuals make sense of their changing identities and ways of being and doing in the world following the onset of disability.

If you identify as someone who has acquired any form of disability at a later stage of life, I warmly invite you to participate in this research. You may also refer someone who qualifies as a potential research participant. The participation will involve a formal interview, which will be conducted via Zoom at a time that is convenient for you. All interactions will remain confidential and completely voluntary, following the benchmark ethical standards.

If you are interested or would like more information, please feel free to respond to this email, or send me a personal message/DM. I’d be happy to explain the research intent in detail and will share the consent form and other formalities accordingly.

Even if you do not personally identify as a person with an acquired disability, you are most welcome to refer anyone who does identify as such. Any form of disability qualifies for inclusion in this study.

Thank you so much for your time and support.

Warm regards,
