I live in Mumbai, with my husband, daughter, and mother, and teaching has always been woven into the fabric of my life. My journey started young—as a Sunday School teacher at just 12 years old, I felt an early pull towards helping others grow. After completing my BSc in IT and working in an IT company, I realized something vital was missing. It was my brother’s encouragement that led me to pursue a Master’s in Social Work (MSW), a path that opened doors to working with communities I felt deeply connected to.
"I’m Daeevessh Jaisar, 48, and I’m currently the Manager of Career Training and Placement at a Tech Mahindra Foundation SMART centre in partnership with DBM India. Born and raised in Mumbai, I hold an MBA in HR and bring over 23 years of experience to my role, including 15 years in training with organizations like UpGrad, Topper Tech, Equifax, and Vodafone. My guiding mantra for job seekers has always been: 'Don’t just look for a job—look for a career.'
Seven years ago, I was a student at DBM India, where I completed a 3-month MSCIT course with big dreams, but little idea of what life would bring. After marriage and becoming a mother, I began feeling the need for independence—for myself and for my family. I decided to reach out to DBM India, hoping to rekindle that spark. They offered me a role, but it involved fieldwork, which I was initially uneasy about. However, with the encouragement of a supportive team, I pushed through my discomfort, building confidence and learning crucial skills in mobilization and communication.
I’m Shweta Dube, 22, and today I’m proud to work at PhonePe as a Business Executive Development professional. Growing up with just my father, who raised me as a single parent, I faced a lot of anxiety and struggled with speaking up or even imagining myself in a professional setting.
I’m Neha Singh, 24, and I work at Teleperformance, supporting HSBC Banking. Growing up in a small chawl in Bandra West, Mumbai, I’d always dreamed of more, but life’s challenges kept piling up, especially during the pandemic. I felt lost, my confidence at an all-time low, and the future looked uncertain.
I’m Anam Qureshi, 20, from Santacruz West, Mumbai, and I work as a Customer Support Executive at Etrav Tech Limited. But just a year ago, my life looked very different. Living with my parents and elder brother, I struggled with confidence and was hesitant to speak up, especially around new people. I had no idea how much self-grooming and clear communication mattered.
I am Aditee Gupta, 19, from Khar East, Mumbai. Growing up, I was always a bit shy, lacking the confidence to speak up, especially around strangers. My dad’s a driver, my mom a homemaker, and though I dreamed big, financial struggles meant I had to drop out of 12th grade. I was terrified that my younger sisters might also have to give up their dreams. I knew I wanted to help my family but felt stuck, with no idea how to start.
