The Story of Mukul Anand Sharma: Turning Silence into Strength
The Story of Mukul Anand Sharma: Turning Silence into Strength
Mukul Anand Sharma was just four years old when a fall from a swing changed everything. A head injury led to years of incorrect treatment, and slowly, he lost his ability to hear. By the time he was ten, doctors told his family he had only an hour to live. But he survived—thanks to emergency surgery and the unwavering love of his family.
That same love carried him through life. Despite his hearing loss, Mukul never stopped learning. He completed MCA, and trained in computer hardware, networking, Linux, and web design. He even learned web development from his younger sister—proof that he never waited for opportunities; he created them.
For almost a decade, Mukul worked as a computer faculty at a CBSE school. He handled both teaching and office work, and his efforts earned him a “Best Teacher” letter from Smriti Irani, the then Union HRD Minister.
But when the pandemic hit, Mukul lost his job. He couldn’t conduct online classes due to his hearing impairment, and just like that—his hard work was dismissed. It was a painful moment. But instead of giving up, Mukul chose to begin again.
Sarthak: A Turning Point Towards Collective Empowerment
Mukul's life took a significant and meaningful turn when he discovered the Sarthak Educational Trust. This organization, dedicated to empowering persons with disabilities, provided Mukul with a supportive community where his skills were not just acknowledged but celebrated.
At Sarthak, he polished his professional skills, refining his talents to better serve individuals facing similar challenges. Through Sarthak, Mukul realized he was not alone. This realization ignited a deeper purpose within him, fueling a desire to make a tangible impact on the lives of countless others.
The Birth of Supav Solutions: A Mission to Empower the Unheard
Driven by this renewed motivation from Sarthak Educational Trust, Mukul launched Supav Solutions—a home-based initiative with a powerful mission. Supav Solutions focuses on:
- Website development & digital services
- Coding training & technical education
- Job creation for persons with disabilities
More than just a business, Supav Solutions is a platform designed to empower the unheard voices in society. Mukul envisions it as a hub of opportunity where skills are paramount and barriers are systematically dismantled.
"I want to prove that disability does not mean inability. I want to be the reason someone believes they can succeed despite their challenges."
Future Aspirations: Building an Inclusive Tomorrow
Mukul's vision extends far beyond his current endeavors. He dreams of expanding Supav Solutions into a professional center for inclusive employment and training. His aspirations include:
- Collaborating with NGOs, companies, and institutions to create remote job opportunities for people with disabilities
- Building a free coding school specifically for underprivileged children and specially-abled learners
- Advocating for inclusive hiring practices across the tech and education sectors
Mukul isn't just building a better life for himself; he is spearheading a movement to lift others alongside him, demonstrating that true success is measured by the lives we touch.
“Challenges are part of life, but they don’t define your future. Believe in yourself, stay determined, and never lose hope. Hardships can be the beginning of your strength and success.”
— Mukul Anand Sharma

His inspiring story reminds us that every limitation can conceal a hidden strength, and every setback can indeed be a setup for an even greater comeback.
Mukul's journey with Sarthak underscores the vital role organizations play in nurturing talent and providing the platform for individuals to realize their full potential.
