A Journey from Limitations to Livelihood: “Sagar Mahalik’s Inspiring Transformation”Adani Foundation’s support hand for NeoMotion Motorized Tricycle

Dhamra,swa news : 22 years old Sagar Mahalik of Tentuliadia, Bansada, Dhamra area born with 100% disability in his lower limbs. He grew up facing mobility challenges that deeply restricted his daily life and livelihood options. At just 22, his determination to support his family pushed him to work in a small betel shop near his home. But with limited income opportunities and restricted movement, Sagar’s aspirations remained confined to the boundaries of his village.Everything changed when the Adani Foundation, Dhamra Port Unit, stepped in to support Sagar under its inclusiveness and livelihood enhancement initiative. He was provided with a NeoMotion motorized tricycle, designed to empower people with disabilities through improved mobility, comfort, and accessibility.

With his new mobility solution, Sagar began exploring income-generating activities beyond his village. Skilled in small electrical and mechanical repair work, he started offering doorstep electrical services to households across nearby villages. The NeoMotion tricycle allowed him to travel longer distances comfortably, something that was impossible earlier with his manual paddle cycle. Today, Sagar travels to Chandabali and Matto to purchase electrical supplies and tools, enabling him to complete repair jobs efficiently and reliably. His dedication and improved mobility have helped him build strong customer trust in his service.

With the ability to reach more households, respond faster, and provide quality service at reasonable charges, Sagar now earns nearly ₹84,000 annually, which is entirely profit. More importantly, this income brings him dignity, financial independence, and renewed confidence in his abilities.Sagar proudly shares that for the first time in his life, he can travel longer distances without exhaustion or struggle. His NeoMotion tricycle has become more than a vehicle. According to him “It’s a symbol of freedom, opportunity, and hope.”
– Sagar’s journey reflects the Adani Foundation’s commitment to creating inclusive, focused livelihood interventions that uplift vulnerable communities. By supporting individuals like Sagar with appropriate mobility aids, the Foundation is enabling them to dream bigger, move further and build a future on their own terms.
