Dear all,
A helpful step may be to educate the prospective employers. Agreed, reaching employers across India is difficult, and frankly somewhat inefficient. Alternatively, we can organise presentations at leading business schools like IIMs, ISB and others to show the students how visually challenged individuals work. Having seen some talented individuals from VI community work using assistive technology would help the students gain an educated prospective. The business schools too, I presume, would encourage such initiatives as it helps to groom a mature and informed alumni base. These students would go to reputed organisations and, hopefully, be more receptive towards visually challenged job applicants. Once the change begins at the top (market leading companies) and the base (at business schools), it will gather momentum and spread.
