Summary  Tejoshwini, from Chennai, faced undiagnosed hearing loss through her school years, quietly battling frustration and confusion. A late diagnosis and eventual use of a hearing aid helped her adapt, even as post-pregnancy changes worsened her hearing. With an MBA and unshakable determination, she now works as a Process Associate at Amazon, earning ₹2.55 LPA. Her journey from silent struggles to corporate success has made her a role model in her community — proof that disability is not inability. “She Didn’t Let Hearing Loss Stop Her: From Silent Struggles to Amazon Associate” When Chennai-based Tejoshwini was growing up, no one quite understood why she struggled to follow conversations or catch everything her teachers said. It wasn’t until after school that a medical check-up finally revealed the answer — she had a 55% hearing impairment. Despite the late diagnosis, Tejoshwini had always tried to find her own way. At school, she sat in the front row every day, hoping to hear better. Her teachers were supportive, and her parents — especially her father, Siva Kumar — gave her constant encouragement. But even with that support, it wasn’t easy. Lessons were often a blur of words she couldn’t fully grasp, and the frustration of missing out was something she quietly endured. Life brought more twists. After her pregnancy, Tejoshwini began experiencing further hearing issues, likely triggered by hormonal changes. That’s when she started using a hearing aid. At first, the sudden burst of sounds overwhelmed her — she often felt anxious, especially in noisy environments. But gradually, with courage and adaptation, she began to embrace her new world. Her neighbourhood in Ambattur, Chennai, stood by her. The community never made her feel different. But it was only after she secured a job that things truly shifted. Today, Tejoshwini works as a Senior Process Associate at Amazon. With an MBA and relentless determination, she broke through barriers and rejections that once stood in her way. The ₹2.55 LPA salary gave her more than just financial independence — it gave her self-worth. Her family couldn’t be prouder. Her parents were overjoyed to see their daughter rise above her disability and carve her place in the corporate world. And her community? They now see her as a role model — living proof that disability is not inability. Tejoshwini’s story is not just about getting a job. It’s about finding confidence, purpose, and becoming an inspiration for others who are still on their journey.

Summary:  Denied opportunities due to a childhood disability, Kavitha walked 5 km daily just to reach school. With grit, education, and a mother’s belief, she earned an MBA and found her way to HSBC. Youth4Jobs helped her rediscover confidence, leading to a role as Assistant Manager.Now earning ₹7.8 LPA, she’s not just independent—she’s inspiring the next generation. Full Story: They said she couldn’t. She did anyway. Born in a remote village in Srikakulam district, Andhra Pradesh, Killi Kavitha’s story is one of quiet defiance. A medical error in early childhood—expired polio drops—left her with a disability that made even standing a challenge. But from the beginning, Kavitha’s life has never been about what she couldn’t do. It’s been about everything she did, anyway. Her earliest champion was her mother. “She never let me think I was less than anyone,” Kavitha says. Education became her passion, her escape, and her purpose. Each day, she would walk 5 kilometers—navigating hilly terrain, crossing railway tracks, and braving monsoon rains—just to catch a bus to school. There were no proper roads. No ramps. But Kavitha never asked for sympathy. She just kept going. The odds were never kind. Society often wasn’t either. She faced ridicule from neighbors and even relatives. At one point, the emotional toll became too much. She left and began living independently—a bold move for a young woman, more so with a disability, in a conservative setting. Her determination began to bear fruit. Kavitha excelled at school, especially in academics and quiz competitions. A well-wisher gifted her a tricycle—her first taste of mobility freedom—which helped her complete her degree and pursue computer training. Her academic record won her a free MBA seat at Sri Venkateshwara University in Tirupati, where she specialized in finance. Post-MBA, she worked in data and finance roles across several companies. But opportunities were limited. Many roles, especially in sales, demanded physical mobility she couldn’t manage. Freelance work followed—but so did stagnation. Then came Youth4Jobs. Their two-month training program helped Kavitha not just gain new skills, but something even more powerful—confidence. It led her to HSBC. And that’s where she found her footing. Today, Kavitha is an Assistant Manager, Quality Control at HSBC, drawing an annual salary of ₹7.8 lakhs. She was even awarded Best Employee of the Year—a moment of quiet victory for someone once denied a job offer to her face because of her disability. That rejection didn’t break her. It lit a fire. “I don’t want to depend on anyone—I want to be happy, independent, and help others,” she says. Now financially stable and emotionally unshakable, Kavitha dreams of mentoring others like her. Her story is a reminder that disability is not inability—and that with the right mindset and opportunity, the girl who once walked along railway tracks to school can one day rise to lead in a global bank.   Are you ready to take the next step in your career?Visit the Swarajability Job Portal today and explore hundreds of job opportunities tailored for persons with disabilities.

Summary Rajeshwar Wagh, who lost his vision gradually, completed engineering without special support and struggled to find his path—until Youth4Jobs introduced him to Accessibility Testing. Today, he works at Brightly Software with a ₹12.5 lakh salary, turning his disability into a strength and inspiring others to believe in what’s possible. Full Story Some stories don’t shout. They speak gently, through grit, silence, and small wins that change everything. Rajeshwar Wagh’s journey is one of them Born into a farming family in Warzdi village, Maharashtra, Rajeshwar Wagh grew up watching his parents work hard to support their three children. He was a bright student and dreamed of becoming an engineer—but life had other plans. As a teenager, he lost vision in his left eye due to a retinal detachment. Over time, he began losing sight in his right eye too. Yet, Rajeshwar never stopped studying. He completed his B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering without any special accommodations—no scribe, no extra time. “I wrote all my exams like everyone else, even when I couldn’t see clearly,” he says. In 2020, Rajeshwar landed a mechanical engineering job at L&T. But the nature of the work—harsh lights and welding environments—put his remaining vision at risk. He made the painful decision to leave. He took up IT roles at Infosys and Virtusa but lacked direction. That’s when he discovered Youth4Jobs, a turning point in his journey. At Youth4Jobs, he learned about Accessibility Testing—a field where his lived experience became his strength. With training and confidence, he soon landed a job at Brightly Software as an Accessibility Test Engineer, earning an impressive ₹12.5 lakh annual package. For Rajeshwar, this wasn’t just a job—it was a transformation. “I bought a fridge and a TV for my mother,” he smiles. “We go on road trips now. I live in a furnished apartment. And I got married last year.” From a struggling student with low vision to a thriving tech professional, Rajeshwar’s journey is proof that the right opportunity can change everything. “My parents are proud. I’m proud. And now, I want to help others like me believe in what’s possible,” he says. When life narrowed his path, Rajeshwar widened it—with quiet courage and purpose.         Are you ready to take the next step in your career?Visit the Swarajability Job Portal today and explore hundreds of job opportunities tailored for persons with disabilities.

Summary: This is the inspiring journey of Rahul Kurudigi, a young engineer from a small town in Karnataka, born with a locomotor disability. Despite early medical challenges and a tough career pivot, Rahul didn’t let his disability define him. With resilience, self-learning, and support from Youth4Jobs Foundation, he transitioned into the IT sector and landed a coveted ₹18 LPA role at J.P. Morgan. His story is a powerful reminder that determination and the right support can turn any obstacle into opportunity.  Rahul Kurudigi grew up watching his father work the fields and his mother teach at school. Born with a locomotor disability, Rahul made himself a promise early on: “I will never let my disability define my dreams.” At 26, Rahul has kept that promise—landing a Software Engineer role at J.P. Morgan with an annual package of ₹18 lakh. ‘Challenges were my companion from the start’ Rahul, a twin, was diagnosed with a disability at birth. By age one, he had undergone three major surgeries. But with supportive parents and teachers, school became his safe space. “I was active, enthusiastic, and treated like any other student,” he says. He even competed in javelin throw, defying stereotypes. ‘Engineering was my passion. But I had to pivot.’ He pursued Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Gogte Institute of Technology. But midway, he realized the physical demands of core electrical roles weren’t feasible. Instead of giving up, Rahul shifted to IT, teaching himself web development while working at Wipro. That’s when he found Youth4Jobs Foundation. ‘Youth4Jobs saw me—not my disability’ Youth4Jobs, a nonprofit empowering persons with disabilities, became a turning point. “The team constantly followed up, guided me, and referred me to four companies within a month,” says Rahul. One referral changed his life: J.P. Morgan. “I was shocked. A global firm like J.P. Morgan, and me—a boy with disability from a small town?” he says. “They didn’t just help with my resume. They gave me confidence. They saw my potential.” Today, Rahul is excited about what lies ahead—not just for himself, but for others like him. “If my journey can inspire even one person to believe in themselves, it’s worth it,” he says.     Are you ready to take the next step in your career?Visit the Swarajability Job Portal today and explore hundreds of job opportunities tailored for persons with disabilities.

Summary Born with a locomotor disability in rural Bihar, Manni’s early life was filled with struggles—climbing stairs, accessing education, and being seen beyond his disability. With the support of Youth4Jobs, he went from being jobless to becoming an Assistant Manager at HSBC, earning ₹10 lakh a year. His journey is not just about financial transformation—it’s about pride, purpose, and proving what’s possible.   Full Story: In a small, backward village in  Bihar—where dusty roads, patchy electricity, and limited schooling are part of daily life—Manni was born with a 62% locomotor disability walking to school or climbing stairs—became steep challenges.  His parents worked as daily wage laborers and couldn’t afford to support his higher education. With help from relatives and well-wishers, Manni completed his graduation. But even after earning a degree, he struggled to find a job—many employers focused on his disability rather than his skills. Manni came to know about Youth4Jobs for Job posting on Instagram and enquired to know center in Bihar and enrolled herself for training  There, he wasn’t seen as someone with a disability, but as someone with potential. He trained relentlessly, mastering communication, teamwork, and professionalism. More than a trainee, Manni became a mentor to others, inspiring his batchmates and even his trainers. Then came his breakthrough. Manni was selected by HSBC as an Audit Executive, earning ₹3 lakh per year. It was his first job—his first real shot at dignity. But Manni didn’t stop.

For a boy who once couldn’t imagine a dignified life, he now stands as a beacon of possibility. “There was a time I couldn’t imagine having a career. Youth4Jobs believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. They gave me more than a job—they gave me purpose,” Manni reflects. His story is a powerful reminder: talent exists everywhere—even in the remotest corners of Bihar.

Summary: Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis during a successful tech career in Germany, Sri Hari Padmanabhan faced a life-altering challenge. But with support from Youth4Jobs and his own determination, he rebuilt his career from the ground up. Today, he works as a Technical Test Lead at Infosys, earning ₹13.2 lakh annually, and serves as a powerful example that disability does not define capability. Full Story: At first glance, Sri Hari Padmanabhan’s life sounds like a dream. He earns ₹13.2 lakh per year as a Technical Test Lead at Infosys. But behind that impressive title is a story of resilience, determination, and the will to start over—after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a progressive neurological condition that changed everything. Born in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, Sri Hari comes from a modest background. His father is a dhobi, and his mother is a homemaker. But what the family lacked in resources, they made up for in belief—and Sri Hari responded with hard work. Scoring 91% in his Class 12 exams, he went on to pursue a B.E. in Electronics and Communication from Kumaraguru College of Technology. A self-confessed computer enthusiast, he spent his college years building projects and sharpening his programming skills. His goal? To join a Tier 1 tech company. That dream came true when he was hired by Robert Bosch GmbH. Over the next 8.5 years, he built a thriving career and was even based in Germany for most of it. But in 2013, life took a drastic turn. He was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The condition slowly impacted his mobility. From being a confident professional working abroad, Sri Hari found himself struggling to complete everyday tasks. It was a dark period—physically, emotionally, and professionally. “There were days I felt I had lost everything I’d worked for,” he says. That’s when Youth4Jobs Foundation came into his life. Through personalized counselling, confidence-building sessions, and career readiness support, the team helped Sri Hari reframe his journey—not as an end, but as a new beginning. With their support, he applied to Infosys and was hired as a Technical Test Lead with an annual salary of ₹13.2 lakh. “Youth4Jobs didn’t just help me with job placement,” he says. “They helped me believe in myself again.” Today, Sri Hari is thriving—not just in his job, but in his mindset. His story is followed closely by Youth4Jobs trainers who stay in touch to track his growth and well-being. From a humble home in Coimbatore to a leadership role in one of India’s top tech firms, Sri Hari’s journey is a testament to what can happen when resilience meets the right opportunity. His message is clear: Disability may change the way you move—but not how far you can go.   Are you ready to take the next step in your career?Visit the Swarajability Job Portal today and explore hundreds of job opportunities tailored for persons with disabilities.

From Silence to Spark: How Tara Kulkarni Lit Up Her Life with Courage  For most people, a flickering lightbulb is just an inconvenience. For Tara Kulkarni, it was a symbol of her entire life—dim, uncertain, and in need of a restart. Tara, 32, lives in the small village of Shindolli in Belagavi, Karnataka. Her days once followed a quiet rhythm: caring for her two children, managing a home on a shoestring budget, and navigating life with a locomotor disability that affects her right leg. Her father and husband worked as daily wage laborers. There were no extra hours in the day, and certainly no extra money at the end of the month. But Tara had something quietly powerful—a refusal to give up. She scraped together ₹90,000 and opened Sri Raghavendra Electricals, a tiny shop selling electrical goods. It was her way of saying: “I can do more.” But starting a business is never easy, especially when you’re also fighting social bias and physical limitations. Her income barely crossed ₹7,500 a month—not enough to repay debts or feed her children. The shop lights were on, but Tara’s spirit was dimming. Then, a phone call from a childhood friend sparked a turning point. “Why don’t you talk to Youth4Jobs?” her friend suggested. That one line shifted everything. Through Youth4Jobs, Tara was introduced to Divyang Mitra and signed up for a 30-day training in self-employment for persons with disabilities. What she gained wasn’t just business knowledge—it was a new lens to see her own potential. She learned how to manage money, attract customers, and stay resilient through business ups and downs. Most importantly, she discovered that entrepreneurship isn’t about having it all—it’s about believing in yourself. Today, Tara’s business is thriving. She now earns over ₹10,000 a month. But ask her what changed the most, and she won’t say income. She’ll say confidence. “I used to feel invisible. Now, people walk into my shop and listen to me. They respect me. I feel seen.” – Tara Kulkarni 💡 Start Your Journey Today Tara’s story shows that with the right support, persons with disabilities can become successful entrepreneurs, business owners, and changemakers.

Rishu Bhardwaj: “I Wanted to Stand on My Own Feet and I did it” Rishu Bhardwaj’s story begins in a quiet town in Punjab, in a home filled with warmth, love, and the kind of unwavering support that can shape a person’s future. Born with profound hearing loss, Rishu learned early on to express herself not through words, but through gestures, expressions, and sign language. Even as a child, she radiated joy—often found experimenting in the kitchen or playing with makeup, delighting in small, everyday pleasures that mirrored her creative, spirited nature.  Her parents first sensed something was different when she didn’t respond to   everyday sounds. At first, there was confusion and worry. But instead of   letting fear take over, they reached out—to doctors, experts, and loved ones—gathering the tools and wisdom they needed to support her. With time, Rishu’s home became not just a space of care, but a foundation of empowerment. She attended an integrated school where deaf students learned together, yet were expected to take exams alongside hearing peers. The challenges were immense—communication gaps, lack of accessible resources, and an often-unaccommodating system. But Rishu was undeterred. Bolstered by her family’s constant encouragement, she navigated each hurdle with quiet determination. Her life took a meaningful turn when she learned about Youth4Jobs, a platform dedicated to training and placing young people with disabilities. Introduced to the organization by her husband, who is also deaf, Rishu saw an opportunity to take the next big step toward independence. She eagerly joined the training program and immersed herself in learning. In that one month of training, something remarkable happened. Not only did she sharpen her workplace skills, but she also became a mentor of sorts—encouraging other deaf candidates to believe in their potential. Her optimism was contagious. Then came the big break. Rishu was invited for an interview with Aditya Birla, and when her offer letter finally arrived, it was more than a job—it was a symbol of how far she’d come. Her family erupted in celebration, her phone buzzed with messages from friends, and for Rishu, it felt like a dream turning real. But she didn’t stop there. Knowing how hard the journey can be, Rishu began referring other deaf candidates to Youth4Jobs. Whenever she came across a job opening, she shared it with her community. She became a quiet but powerful bridge—connecting people like her to new opportunities and reminding them that they, too, belonged in the workforce. Still, the path was not without struggle. The world outside her family wasn’t always kind or inclusive. Many companies hesitated to hire persons with disabilities. Finding a job required more than a degree—it demanded persistence, community, and courage. Rishu believes the real challenge isn’t just academic; it’s systemic. There are still so many barriers to quality education and inclusive employment. But through it all, she remained steadfast. Today, Rishu is more than just employed—she is empowered. She credits her parents, her husband, and Youth4Jobs for believing in her potential when the world often didn’t. Her story is a shining example of what’s possible when inclusion meets determination. “Never give up,” she says. “With the right support, even the most difficult dreams can come true.” Rishu’s journey is a celebration of resilience, a call for inclusion, and above all, a reminder that every individual—regardless of ability—deserves the chance to thrive 🌟 Looking for a job like Rishu?Register on Swarajability—India’s first AI-powered job platform for persons with disabilities. 🎓 Want free skill training near you?Join a Youth4Jobs training center and start your journey to independence.
