Basavaraj Ravi hails from an agricultural background, born 24 years ago in Bidar, Karnataka. In a family of five, his father, aged 46, and mother, 38, are farmers.
With two elder brothers, one employed in a tiles shop and the other serving as a pastor, the family’s livelihood relies on leased agricultural land. Ravi, the sole member with a hearing impairment, communicated solely through sign language from a young age, which his parents recognized as indicative of his condition. However, their concern was limited as his means of communication sufficed.
Ravi completed his SSC and Intermediate education in Maharashtra but had to halt his studies due to financial constraints. To support his family, he worked at Flipkart for six months, contributing whatever he earned towards their needs. His government pension of 1400/- supplemented his expenses. It was through a friend that Ravi discovered the ASHRAY-AKRUTI Multimedia and Animation training program. With remarkable aptitude and dedication, he swiftly completed the rigorous four-month course and secured a position at Sarathi studios with a salary of Rs. 10,000/-. Overflowing with gratitude, Ravi expressed, “I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have found this training opportunity at Ashray-Akruti. I will forever be thankful for this wonderful opportunity.
