Not many return after pursuing courses in foreign lands but Upasana Makati came back to launch the venture for betterment of the disadvantaged.
Founder and Publisher of White Print, 24-year-old Upasana told PTI that "White Print happens to be India's first lifestyle magazine in English Braille. There is Reliance Drishti, a Hindi fortnightly newspaper and Sparshdnyan is a Marathi newspaper".
After she graduated from Jai Hind College and pursued a course in Canada, Upasana returned and took up a job in a PR company in Mumbai. However, she always had the urge to do something on her own, "explore an unchartered territory."
Three months into the research she decided to quit her job and commit herself completely to her venture.
Based out of Mumbai, the 64-page magazine was rolled out in May, 2013 for the 56 lakh visually impaired readers of the country.
The magazine is printed at the National Association for the Blind, India.
