Thirty-one dispatches on disability, custody, democracy and artificial intelligence — written by a disabled entrepreneur who represents himself in the Delhi High Court and studies, on paper and in practice, who a system chooses to forget.
Vikas Gupta writes from inside the systems he studies. A disabled entrepreneur who survived polio and built his own company, he is currently a self-represented petitioner arguing his own writ petition before the Delhi High Court — a case examining custodial treatment of disabled persons by Delhi Police, Tihar Jail and central ministries.
He is an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, and his essays move between disability rights, the transactional turn in Indian democracy, and the governance of artificial intelligence — three fields he treats as one continuous argument about who gets counted.
