Joining the grand culmination of season 1, Nipun Malhotra, CEO and Founder, Nipman Foundation, congratulated Hyundai and NDTV for the initiative. He said, “Samarth has brought a lot of change in attitudes towards people with disabilities. Earlier disabilities would only get covered if someone topped in their school or college. Samarth highlighted other issues related to disability, such as infrastructure, education, employment, etc.”
