For women from the grassroots level, it is a huge task to make her way through the labyrinth of impediments in her entrepreneurial journey, said Anila Jyothi Reddy, President & CEO, Key Software Solutions, Inc. in the national capital on Wednesday.

Reddy said, "I started by doing odd jobs. I promised myself to work towards creating a better life and learned the way of dealing with life in a hard and practical manner. The hardships taught me the value of life and made me think beyond the situation. The impediments in my journey became my courage."

Born to a poor peasant family in Warangal, Andhra Pradesh, Anila Jyothi Reddy has come a long way from a deprived childhood, being brought up in a Govt. Welfare Orphanage, BALASADAN, to becoming the Founder President of a recruiting firm Keys Software Services, USA.

Reddy has scripted her own destiny and reached the zenith of accomplishment as a successful entrepreneur. Though her journey from an orphanage to the top of the world has been an arduous one, but today she is the CEO of a $15 million IT company based in Phoenix, Arizona, United States.

FICCI Ladies Organisation (FLO) organised an Interactive session with Reddy. The session titled "Scripting Her Destiny - Farm Labourer to a Millionaires" saw Reddy share her experiences.

Archana Garodia Gupta, FLO President said, "FLO is the most apt platform to connect, learn and grow. We recognise the success stories of women entrepreneurs and provide a platform for the members to be inspired by them. This programme was an excellent opportunity to be motived by the inspiring success story of Ms. Anila Jyothi Reddy and learn about her rags-to-rich transformation. The real life story of a farm labourerâs journey to millionaires is that of a dream, achieved thru grit, determination and perseverance. FLO salutes her indomitable spirit and unsurpassable courage."

Reddyâs motto in life is - "You are the creator of your own destiny." She believes that nothing can stop a human being from becoming what one wants to achieve in life.

Her next dream to see that every Orphan in India to get an own Identity, recognition and enjoy equal opportunity. Towards reaching that goal, she has been interacting and sensitizing various Government agencies, policy makers, politicians as well as Non-Government Organizations.
