Beneficiary from Katalyst:

Jyothi Reddy was excited to begin her college in Bangalore for Engineering. At the same time, she was extremely intimidated with the English speaking crowd as she had studied in vernacular languages like Kannada and Bagepalli all her life. That’s when Jyoti was introduced to Katalyst. Jyoti was regular at the Katalyst trainings and soon realised, that she was stronger both emotionally and intellectually, to face her challenges. This support became an asset to her career. A defining moment in Jyothi’s life was when Katalyst had taken the students to Goa for an annual convention. After her experience, Jyoti wrote “I asked myself why I couldn’t lead this life and from that moment on, decided not to step back from any challenge-no matter how difficult.” In the final year of Engineering she was placed at Interra Systems. She continued to pursue her M. Tech. from Dr.Ambedkar Institute of technology where she was awarded the second rank in the course. She is currently working with Infinera Pvt. Ltd. and writes, “I can proudly say that even I can lead the life I smelt in Goa”. Katalyst hopes to continue inspiring many other women like Jyoti!
