Ankita Shah was afflicted with polio but never letting challenges define her, she completed her graduation. After graduation she took up odd jobs to support her family. It was not an easy task to find a permanent position. She then decided to learn how to drive an auto. With the help of her friend, she even got her auto-rickshaw customized with hand-operated brakes. This helped her to drive the auto quickly. With this intelligent decision, she doubled her income. “Thanks to my rickshaw, I earn double the amount I was earning in my previous jobs. To increase my earnings further, I have joined a cab aggregator platform as well.” Ankita’s decision of driving an auto-rickshaw has benefited her a lot. She earns Rs. 25000 every month. Starting something on her own meant she could decide her own timings. So along with working and earning money, Ankita is also able to take care of her family.*
