The day he was born the delight of the father who named his son after cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth turns into dismay when he sees sightless newborn.

From then on he is mentored by his teacher Devika who hand-holds him while keeping his ego in check. She helps him file a court case to study science as a subject (despite scoring 98%). She prompts him to try to apply abroad, and on doing so he gets selected as the first international visually impaired student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States after being denied entry into Indian Institute of Technology. When moving to the US, he briefly gets stopped at the airport as the airline cannot have a visually impared person travel alone, however he is able to prove his knowledge about the plane and how to board and sit and is eventually allowed entry.

Later he decides to set up a business (Bollant Industries) with his business partner Ravi Mantha, where he gives jobs mostly to the disabled. After a few problems with his partner, fueled by Srikanth’s egoistic attitude, Srikanth apologizes and learns to be humble. He is finally able to achieve the level of success he hoped for, with continued guidance from his mentor. This reflected in the tagline Aa Raha Hai Sabki Aankhen Kholne.
