Hello Kanchan madam, I wish to write everything on your personal ID from the biggining. I'm communicating with Charu sir and his Accessibility COE team and having hopes. I have told everything to my HR but no result. I see everyone working at office accept me. I got into TCS through TCS Maitree team.
