About IMAbled
A trusted chain between ability and opportunity.
IMAbled is the NGO-mediated hiring, training and placement platform for specially-abled professionals. We connect registered NGOs, admin-approved employers and volunteer industry experts into one consent-first ecosystem — live in India and expanding globally.
Our mission
Close the gap between who specially-abled professionals are and who the workforce thinks they are.
Across every country we have looked at, the same pattern holds: millions of specially-abled adults want to work, most would be excellent at the jobs on offer, and almost none are reached by general job boards. The gap isn't ability — it's infrastructure. IMAbled is that infrastructure.
The problem we exist to solve
The largest untapped talent pool in the world, still locked out of formal work.
26.8M
India alone is home to ~26.8 million specially-abled citizens (2011 Census, India). Less than 35% of working-age are employed.
80%
Of disability-focused NGOs globally have strong candidate trust but no structured placement pipeline.
fragmented
No single, trusted pipe where NGOs, trainers and employers work off the same verified record.

How we solve it
One chain of trust. Three partners.
Most platforms try to solve hiring alone. We built Verify, Train and Place into one flow — because without all three, hiring never happens.
NGO-vouched candidates
Admin-verified NGOs build and own every candidate profile. No anonymous uploads. Consent logged on every introduction.

FAQ
Questions about IMAbled itself.
IMAbled is launching globally. We are live in India and expanding to jurisdictions covered by the UN CRPD — including the United States (ADA), United Kingdom (Equality Act 2010) and other signatory countries. The product is the same; the compliance surfaced inside it adapts to where you hire.
IMAbled is built and operated by Pillai InfoTech LLP. The platform is funded by CSR contributions from partner companies who back our mission. Placements are always free — NGOs, companies, volunteers and candidates never pay a placement fee or commission. Companies may optionally sponsor specific training cohorts, but that is never a condition of using the platform.
No. We support all categories recognised under local disability legislation — including the 21 categories of the RPWD Act 2016 in India, ADA-defined disabilities in the US, protected disability under the UK Equality Act 2010, and the broad UN CRPD definition of persons with disabilities.
Three differences: (1) profiles are built and vouched by registered NGOs, not self-declared; (2) training cohorts are company-sponsored and volunteer-run with zero cost to the learner; (3) every company is admin-verified before they can see a single profile.
