"One day I woke up and realised I was blind in one eye, it was following this that I did two initiatives, one is digitala11y which is where I started writing about accessibility. One thing I understood is all the accessibility is highly confusing and I wanted to simplify it for myself then I started writing it." Raghavendra discussed how he got started in accessibility.
He then continued about the benefits of IAAP, "I was very closely following the IAAP, I love the community. One thing i've learned is the power of community."
