In this spoken testimonial, Ankita Jajoo recounts a life marked by early loss, financial hardship, and relentless responsibility, detailing how she navigated a series of personal crises—from the death of her mother and later her father and brother, to a challenging marriage, relocation, and the COVID‑19 pandemic. She describes discovering Riddhi Deorah’s (Riddhi Ma’s) online parenting courses, applying the techniques with her son who achieved a world‑record of identifying 2,000 flashcards, and using the momentum to invest in her own education despite financial fear. Ankita then chronicles her rapid transformation into a parenting educator, leader, and public speaker, highlighting milestones such as delivering free school sessions, training over 150 mothers, 70+ handwriting students, 1,000+ participants in her Positive Pathways program, and receiving recognitions like “Women of the Year.” The narrative culminates in a motivational call to the audience to trust themselves, make independent decisions, and build confidence beyond societal judgment.

Loudest round of applause to Akhita Jaju! Let's hear it, let's hear it! I was born into a traditional Marwadi family. Elder sister, big brother, and me. Life was seen to be very simple, but my story began with loss. Shortly I was born, I lost my mother. My world began without the calm and grace of mother. My father shattered but strong, my grandmother loving, but rooted in tradition raised me. Dreams were allowed only if we didn't ask for money. I dreamed of becoming an engineer, but dreams cost money and we didn't have it. So I settled in what I can afford, a diploma in interior design. It wasn't my first choice, but it gives me a sense of direction. I was thrilled when I landed my first job. I thought something bright had to be started, but life has other plans. My Grandmother passed away. It broke me completely because my father started declining his health with high blood pressure and sugar. It was not a start. I always found myself asking Why always me, God? I wasn't a person who enjoyed kitchen work, household chores. That's why I asked, asking, God, why always me? Then something in me shifted. I realized this is all chosen for me by a higher power. Because fighting doesn't help you, complaining doesn't help you, blaming doesn't help. I start asking myself, what do I have? What do I know? Because all family responsibilities fell on me. My elder sister was in job, my brother was studying MSC. What do I know? What do I have? The answer was chess. I slowly started with my chess classes and tuition classes. I slowly started with my chess classes and tuition classes. I was home more and my father was happy because I was the caretaker for him. Then I found a rhythm in my work. But life changed again. I got married. A love marriage. Dream, hope, and dreams filled with all those items. I thought now something bright has to be start again. Ab toh kuch karna hai. Then life has other plans. But reality was very harsh. My husband was living in another city. I was with my in-laws for 1 year alone. He only came on pickets. I fought it, I cried every day. Eventually we shifted to a rented flat in Nagpur. Got Corona. COVID happened. We shifted to a LOS phase, and after 3 months, finally shifted to a red-tape platinum outcome. And eventually, I was pregnant. 9-month journey wasn't easy for me. Because I was alone. No support, no confidence. But I told myself, if I have handled so many situations in my life, then I gave a birth to a baby boy. I was overjoyed. But again, life tested me and It was the second layer of Corona and my father got hospitalized. I thought, not yet, he has not seen his dad until now, how it can be? Thankfully, he recovered. Those days were filled with prayers and anxiety. Then one day, I saw ad of Riddhi Ma. On Facebook. I thought, can parenting be done really? I had no money, so I ignored. But social media kept me showing parenting cartoons, children making world records. I thought this might be an influence on kids. Actually, it did me a lot of shock. Then I done repeatedly using same techniques with my child. I used same techniques with my child, and in 18 months he made a world record identifying 2,000 flashcards with 15+ categories. I thought he was 3 years old. He is learning, I am learning, but for whom? But for him, not for me. So what about my learning, my growth? Then something unthinkable thing happened. My father passed away. It broke me completely. After 4 months, my brother passed away. He was just 32 years old. And then We got a 5 lakh insurance money, death insurance money of him. I thought this is only for Kashif, not for me. Then again I saw an ad of Riddhi Ma'am on Instagram. Something in me lifted up. This is what I want, this is what I need. This was very scary to invest on me for the first time. Still, I trusted myself, I trusted God that yes, I can do it. And finally, I registered with the first installment. Then afterwards, I asked my husband, can I register for, enroll for the school? He was like, are you crazy to invest so much on online course? First time in my life I was not scared. Why? Because I took decision for myself. Waking at 4 AM, studying for 10 hours, studying religiously with Parenting courses of Riddhi Ma'am, thinking that she is speaking to me live. She is changing me every day. Before my son woke up, I used to study for 3 hours, waking up at 4 AM till 7 AM. By September, I finished all my courses and started with my offline parenting sessions, free parenting sessions in schools. And by January, I made a vision board in December that I should have my own office where I can do one-to-one. This was not a dream, but it was. That vision board came to And it was something like taking mission activities, taking part in mission. I got a leadership, and it was a big, big breakthrough in my life because leadership taught me communication skills, which I was not lost in. Me, someone who has never imagined public speaking on the stage. Then after 3 sessions, I decided in 2025, no free for now because I've learned, educated, 150+ mothers in parenting, 70+ great in handwriting, and 1000+ students in my Positive Pathways program. Parenting sessions, various recognitions, Women of the Year, and many After that, I thought something is mean to me. Then I thought, yes, Ramji has all planned all this. I trust myself, no confidence, nothing, but still, if I can do it, so you can. I just wanted to ask 3 questions. Do you think you can take a decision for yourself? Talk to me. Will you start trusting yourself and not others? Will you start making yourself confidence and not on the societal judgment. Yes! So if I can do it, so you can. If I say yes to myself, then the world will say Yes. How many of you loved it? Do you love Ishara? So proud, so proud. Yes. And you want more? Are you loving these stories? These are real stories, not like Pit Boss.
