Who Is Srikanth Bolla?
He was the 1st international blind student in Brain and Cognitive Science and Business at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)!

His entrepreneurial dream found backing from Ratan Tata who helped Bollant Industries (which manufactures packaging solutions) grow into a big success.
“‘SRI‘ portrays the life of Srikanth Bolla, an industrialist who fearlessly pursued his dreams despite his visual impairment, ultimately founding Bollant Industries.”
