Nisha Gupta – The Rebound | ‘Pill the Beans

If we had only one word to use to describe Nisha Gupta it would be – “baller”. At the age of 18, she fell of a wall, fractured her spine, leaving her paralysed from waist down. She now plays for Maharashtra’s Wheelchair basketball team, swims and lives an extremely independent life. But India’s poor conditions for the differently-abled and lack of support from the government is a huge setback. So when we uploaded this video we kickstarted a campaign on Milaap to raise funds to buy wheelchairs, and 8 months in we’ve been able to gift 3 Motivation Multisport Wheelchairs to the Maharashtra team – who aspire to representing the nation internationally.
