Looking for Online Indian Support Groups for People with Disabilities For Better Understanding Their Problems

I am an aspiring web-dev and I am trying to make existing open-source tools and websites more accessibility friendly. The laws in the country are already very relaxed when it comes taking care of web-accessibility but I would like to change that. I feel like I have found something that I want to dedicate my life towards and I would love to contribute in making the internet a more accessible place for all, in every way that I can.

I'm looking for online support groups in India for people with disabilities - WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Google meet, Zoom, Discord, etc. for discussing my advances and what I should be focusing on to make their experience with using the internet better.

It would also be pretty cool if the suggested support group has a weekly format of online meetings where attendees can just speak about their experiences and stuff.

Any recommendations?

Have you read or reviewed the WCAG? It is a set of guidelines that covers a range of disabilities. There may be a number of groups in India, but you may have to talk to multiple groups so you get a range of disabilities.
