India is today a sparkling example of young women charting hitherto unwanted or untested territories. Today, we have women doing all jobs that their male counterparts do, and one such shining example is that of Sirisha. Well, she is the assistant electrician at Taj Krishna hotel in Banjara Hills.

Life was a tough ride for Sirisha. Daughter of an auto driver, their family, hit hard times in 2016, and from a bad situation, they went on to a worse situation. During the time, her brother started working, but that did not help much either. To support him, Sirisha decided to take up a course. So, she completed a diploma in electrical engineering and started looking for a job.

And it was during this phase that one of her friends told her about TATA Strive. Getting trained her was no easy task. She had to travel 70kms daily, and there was immense pressure from her relatives to stop her from going ahead. But her father supported her all along, and she joined the AE course. Now, she is the assistant electrician at Taj Krishna.

After the family’s position stabilized thanks to Sirisha’s job, they managed to buy a house of their own in Nagole. But Sirisha has bigger plans for herself. She is presently pursuing a B.Tech from Arjun College of Technology and Sciences for the past two years. Sometime in the near future, Sirisha hopes to become the head of the electrical department at the hotel.
