Anila Jyothi Reddy belonged to a very a poor family, in a small
village, milaran, in Andhra Pradesh, India. Having lost her mother
early in life, Jyothi Reddy was put in an orphanage so that she
could get some education. She passed Class X in first division but
extreme poverty forced her to discontinue studies. Then she worked
in the agricultural fields as a daily laborer.
.
When she was 16, Jyothi Reddy was forcibly married off to her
relative and in the next two years she had two children. Tired of
living in poverty, Jyothi Reddy kept trying for various jobs. In 1988,
she joined as an adult education teacher at a remuneration of 120
rupees a month. Later she joined a typing institute, did a craft
course and earned Rs 20-25 daily by stitching petticoats at 1 rupee
per piece. And she used to sell sarees in the train every day to earn
the extra money. Finally she got a regular job in 1994 at a monthly
salary of 2,750 rupees. She worked as a mandal girl child
development officer and would inspect the schools.
.
Later she came to Hyderabad and joined a software training Institute
and learned some software courses. In the year 2000, she went to
USA and stayed as a paying guest with a Gujarati family in USA.
She joined a small job as a software trainee. But she was not good
at English.
.
While doing her job for a very less salary, she learned to speak
English wonderfully. Finally she overcame all challenges and
gradually started her own company. Now she is the Chairperson
and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of her software development
company, "Kelly Software Solutions". Now she is earning millions
of dollars, every year. This is the grand success of a poor girl.
.
In an interview, Jyothi Reddy said "I want to tell women to be
economically independent and take their own decisions instead of
depending on their fathers, husbands and sons at various stages in
life. They keep educational degrees as mere certificates and stop
working after marriage unlike in the US. Be the master of your fate
and remember, taking care of children is part of life, but not a life".
