From Livelihoods to a Larger Vision
With this extensive on-ground experience, EnAble India is now spearheading the Purple Economy Movement—a bold, systemic shift to reframe inclusion as a driver of innovation, employment, and economic transformation. The movement takes the learnings of 25 years and scales them across industries, sectors, and geographies—ensuring that disability is no longer seen as limitation, but a catalyst for growth.
Inclusion isn’t the end goal. It’s the starting point of a thriving, equitable economy.
