Atypical Advantage

For the fourth year in a row, Nexus Mall celebrated Independence Day, keeping artists with disabilities as the star performers of the day. At Nexus Hyderabad, visitors came together for two interactive art experiences: Threads of Freedom by Uday Kiran (Hearing Impaired), where diverse fabric pieces came together to create a collective map of India, and Flames of Freedom by R Kedhar (Autism), where visitors shared what freedom means to them and added coloured leaves to form the Indian flag. The activations brought people of all ages together in a joyful celebration of creativity and inclusion, while also sensitising them to the fact that artists with disabilities are not just talented artists, but can also lead, engage with and manage crowds with confidence.

Meanwhile, at Nexus Westend in Pune, singer Mayuri (Visual Impairment) returned for the second year with a soulful evening of patriotic songs. With crowds gathering around her, cheering and singing along, she marked another memorable Independence Day celebration. As Nexus shared, “It was a pleasure having Mayuri for the show.”

A sweeter cake for a special farewell: Svatantra

It was Mr. Jayesh Shah's, CEO of Svatantra Micro Housing Finance Corporation, last working day. There were speeches, teary eyes, warm wishes for what comes next and, as expected, a cake to mark the occasion. But this wasn’t just another farewell cake.

It was baked by Varun, a baker on the autism spectrum. For him, being asked to bake a cake for the farewell of the CEO himself, was another reminder that someone believed in him and his skills, yet again. And that’s what made the cake taste even better.

Even after baking hundreds of cakes, cookies and muffins, every new order brings a warm smile to Varun Naren and his family. So, while everyone at Svatantra was celebrating Mr. Jayesh that day, someone else was quietly celebrating a bakery milestone too.

For a bird, freedom is flying beyond the cage. 🕊️
For a woman, it is lifting the veil.
For water, it is flowing freely around every barrier. 💧

These artworks are all created by artists with different disabilities, but gives one powerful message: freedom means being free to move, express and exist as you are.

This Independence Day, let’s make freedom truly for everyone.
