TETE – A – TETE
THE INCLUSION TIMES EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH

We first met Banupriya who is working in a multinational company here in Bangalore, in a language class. She looked quite happy and eager to prove herself. She is so quick in talking in Sign Language that it's very difficult for us to catch up. We had to constantly remind her to slow down as we were not as adept in Sign Language as she was.
She is always smiling and ever enthusiastic. So, when we started this section, her’s was the 1st face that crossed our minds. We had a few questions for her, and this is what she has to say. The aim of this section is to know a li’l more of each-other in the community.
So, hello to our Employee of the Month – Banupriya
The aim of this section is to know a little more of each-other in the community. *If you are an employee with disability and would want to share a few words about yourself with our readers, please write to us at shashwati.p@giftabled.org
