Meet Azima Dhanjee, CEO & Co-Founder of Pakistani Startup, Making Life Easier for the Deaf and Mute

Meet Azima Dhanjee, CEO & Co-Founder of Pakistani Startup, Making Life Easier for the Deaf and Mute“You see, both my parents are deaf and mute while my brother and I have no such ‘limitation’,” shares Azima. “The first time my classmates saw me communicate with my mother in sign language, they started laughing because they had never seen such a thing before. I did not understand what was so funny but I knew there was something “different” about the way I communicated with my mother.”

Before this point, her parents had never let her feel any different. Her family is like just any other family. The only difference is that she has had to use sign language to talk to her parents.

Growing up, she also heard a lot of stories from her grandmother about the struggle her mom has had to go through.
