🎙️ SPOTLIGHT — AZIMA DHANJEE
Our Spotlight guest is Azima Dhanjee, a pioneering Pakistani social entrepreneur and technology innovator who has dedicated her work to improving accessibility and inclusion for the Deaf community.
A child of Deaf parents, Azima's personal experiences helped shape her understanding of communication and accessibility. At just 19, while studying at IBA, she co-founded ConnectHear, using technology to help bridge communication barriers.
In our conversation, Azima discusses growing up with Deaf parents, starting ConnectHear as a university student, the potential of AI-powered sign language recognition, and why keeping a “disability lens” can help make everyday spaces and services more inclusive.
She also reflects on the people who supported her early entrepreneurial journey, the recognition she has received, and her vision for the future of Deaf inclusion in Pakistan and beyond.
