In a short span of 12 months, Yukti amplified her skills and abilities working on over seven projects – including three in-house projects and four very diverse client projects- from working on outreach for the Bizchamp Premier League and supporting the SMILE Wellness Foundation with their fundraising pitch deck to co-designing an e-book with Dr Alifia Cementwala to spread awareness on Osteoporosis, and creating a series of team-building games with innovator Rajiv Tulpule.
Ankita Parashar, Business Partner and Marketing Lead at Enterprise, who has followed Yukti’s journey closely, shared,
“I’ve worked with Yukti when she joined Enterprise for an internship at #karo. From then to now, if there’s one thing that has remained constant with her is her ability to slay any task she takes up and her empathy-driven approach. She’s the kind of person you want in your team and your life. She’s a star!”
Yukti has been able to manage multiple roles at priority at once and develop and practice her sense of responsibility through working on different projects with different people.
One of the people she closely worked with, was innovator Rajiv Tulpule, CEO at Retro Cable Corporation. They worked together to co-create a series of team building games and Yukti hosted those games with a group of young people, recorded it and created a video series. Mr Tulpule shares,
“It was an open brief project and she helped co-create and envision it. She was very committed and resourceful and contributed meaningfully to each of the videos we created. She has great knowledge of video making, editing and photography which made it possible for getting great results. She settles for nothing less but perfection in her work.”
“I enjoyed seeing Yukti execute the project with Rajiv Tulpule with such leadership and skill. She made a difficult project easy to execute and did a damn good job executing it,” added Yusuf Hakim, Co-Founder of the Enterprise India Fellowship.
Along with working on a diverse range of client projects, she also co-created #karo playdates along with her fellow Partners (fellow students who were a part of the fellowship) – Apeksha Rathod and Mrunmayee Padmagiwar. It was a series of workshops where parents logged in with their children and together learned new things. The idea was to make children spend quality time with their parents given the inability to have outdoor adventures during the pandemic.
Through working on real-life projects, conversations with mentors and participating in different workshops that are a part of the fellowship program, Yukti has reflected on her story, developed an understanding of her values and causes she cares about, practised how to share her story, and learned to build and sustain connections in the fields and organizations interesting to her.
