Founded in May 2013, White Print is India’s First English Lifestyle Magazine in Braille. Over the last nine years, the monthly magazine has fulfilled a long-standing void in the lives of persons with blindness by becoming their essential source of Braille literature comprising articles, op-eds and vignettes on politics, culture, sports, travel, entertainment, food, short stories and a lot more. Printed at the National Association for the Blind, the magazine is circulated across India, reaching far corners of the country.

At White Print, the mission is to embrace the values of inclusion and diversity. To ensure these values are inculcated at a young age, the company forayed into publishing children’s literature in 2018 with an illustrated storybook titled Look Out, Look Within. Followed by an e-storybook – Flowers for Sunaina – in 2020.

Geeta is a lifelong learner. She loves to write, meditate and practice Yoga. She loves children and the storyteller in her has helped her write easy books for school children.

A minimalist lifestyle has helped her pack with ease to travel around coastal India. She believes that minimalism helped her realise that education is best shared and received in a decluttered setting. Sustainability has set her free and nowadays she is living on an island in A&N. She spends her time walking in the forests, growing vegetables, making bio enzymes, listening to the birds and watching the sea waves  rise and fall. In all of this she learns how diversity and inclusion ( D&I)  is the basis of life. White Print is an integral part of her life and D&I her purpose.
