Ordinary mortals cannot understand and imagine, let alone understand, what life can be for those who are physically challenged -- their trials and tribulations, their hopes and aspirations, and their struggle to cope in a world that is neither designed for nor supportive of their needs and wants.

In the world of POLIOMITICS Arjuna Award and Padmashree award winner, Malathi Krishnamurthy Holla is a remarkable woman. She is a Champion of Champions, a born Athlete, professionally a Bank Manager and a social activist. She is an achiever in all fronts with a limitless capacity to excel in whatever she is engaged in. With over 380 Gold, 24 Silver and 5 Bronze State/National/International medals at Asian/World masters/Open Athletic Championships in different parts of the world, she has an amazing "never say die" and an overwhelming spirit that defies the limits of human endeavor.

Incapacitated by Polio at age of one and confined to the wheelchair after undergoing 32 surgeries, Malathi was driven by courage and a will to achieve and a diehard persevering philosophy that moved her to phenomenal personal and professional success that would have made most achievers proud! A postgraduate in psychology, Manager at the Syndicate Bank, Winner of Padmashree, Arjuna, Ekalavya, KK Birla Foundation Awards, she has had laurels heaped on her for her accomplishments and the many significant milestones of her life.

However, despite her own personal physical trials and challenges, Malathi has a laudable vision of reaching out to her fellow paraplegics and setting an example that life is surmountable no matter what, and that given courage, discipline, perseverance and an indomitable spirit, one can reach the most formidable of goals and that nothing is impossible.

With the moral support of her friends, she has opened a Foundation called MATHRU FOUNDATION where she is providing free shelter, school and medical facilities to the poor and needy physically disabled children boys aged between 5-18. She is concentrating mainly on rural area affected polio victims where their parents cannot afford to send the child to the school or provide medical treatment due to their poor economical background. The Foundation main project and motto is to provide education and required medical assistance like corrective surgeries and provide calipers, crutches, walkers etc.and rehabilitate them to develop positive attitude and instill self confidence in them to live in this beautiful world.


In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
