Manasi Joshi

Life is an unpredictable journey. While most people give up in the face of struggles and trials, a few defy all odds and turn their life's challenges into opportunities. The life of Manasi Joshi is a heart-warming story worth emulating. She waged an incredible war against her fate to carve out a path that would probably be remembered for generations to come.

Manasi was born on 11 June 1989, in Rajkot, Gujarat, and was raised in Mumbai. Her father, Girishchandra Joshi, was a scientist at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. She was six when she started playing badminton with her father.

She was a skilled player and participated in district and inter-school tournaments.

After initial schooling, she completed her electronics engineering degree at the K.J. Somaiya College of Engineering, Mumbai. A software engineer by profession, she worked for ATOS India.
