Alma Chopra   

Dr. Alma Chopra’s journey began with a childhood love for sports and an energetic approach to life. A diagnosis of cerebellar ataxia brought challenges to her movement and coordination, changing how she navigated everyday life. Her experiences with exclusion, alongside her study of psychology and journey towards self-acceptance, helped shape her purpose: creating spaces where people feel valued and supported. Today, as a motivational speaker, life coach, inclusion advocate, and founder of Almawakening Foundation, she draws on those experiences to support others. Through speaking engagements, community initiatives, and the Udaan community, she encourages conversations around confidence, accessibility, and equal opportunity for people with different abilities. Her story connects personal growth with collective action. Through Almawakening Foundation, she works towards a society where everyone can participate with dignity, access support, and pursue their aspirations. At its heart, her mission is to make inclusion a natural part of everyday life.
