A patient of severe hemophilia-a recently launched a start-up that aims to mitigate such problems for people with rare disabilities. Shyam Narayan is an entrepreneur, social activist and the founder of Qrishn. Qrishn is a bootstrapped start-up that upskills people with rare disabilities by providing them online skill development training and helps them learn professional skills, increase the chances of their employability, and become financially self-dependent. The training programmes are structured in a very specific manner to serve people with disabilities. The programmes help people with disabilities learn lots of soft skills and hard skills without having to face any type of inconvenience to their health. Qrishn is regularly teaming up with NGOs, societies, and individuals to reach out to people with disabilities around the world.
Shyam Narayan states that in the last few years, there have been great advancements that took place in technology. Technology is now said to be an integral part of everyone’s lives. Modern day technology is being effectively helpful in medical science, education, governance, agriculture, industrial works, and the list goes on. It is totally fair to assume that technology can be advantageously used to solve such complicated problems too. With this vision and will to solve issues like education and employment crises, Shyam came up with the idea of Qrishn. Entrepreneur Shyam Narayan got featured in Business Outreach’s 30 under 30 innovative entrepreneurs list of 2022.
Shyam Narayan is a patient of a rare and incurable genetic bleeding disorder known as Hemophilia-a, he has always faced numerous troubles. Shyam says rare disorders like hemophilia drastically affect the patient’s life in every manner. According to a survey conducted by a national agency, a significant population of people with disabilities don't have any source of income. Less than 10 percent of the population of people with disabilities in the country are able to achieve fundamental education. The reasons are illiteracy, lack of infrastructure and even certain societal discrimination. And when it comes to rare and severe conditions like Hemophilia, Thalassemia and other incurable disorders, the livelihood is even worse.
Qrishn is looking forward to launching more projects in the future. The founder says, Qrishn is open to ideas and provides encouragement and necessary support to build problem-solving innovations. Shyam Narayan believes that his efforts will have a positive impact by helping that part of the society which often gets overlooked.
