Rathnamma\u2019s incredible story of training under almost all of Shahi\u2019s programs to leading a line of her own and striving for a better workplace.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere was a school in my village, Chiknallie, opposite my house. For almost seven years, I served as a teacher there,\u201d Rathnamma said; her eyes sparkled, and a wide smile embraced her face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rathnamma, a resilient and determined individual hailing from Pandavapura, Mysore, has a story that embodies perseverance and adaptability within the backdrop of a close-knit, rural community. She has remained a valued member at Shahi in Mysore for four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sparkle turned into a determined fire when asked why she moved to Srirangapatna. She has a singular goal, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cSo that my children can have a good education. I am passionate about ensuring my kids receive a good education.” <\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

She joined Shahi as a tailor and was enrolled in the Gap Inc. P.A.C.E. Program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I was first introduced to the Gap Inc. P.A.C.E program, a group of us humorously mistook it as the FACE program. I was puzzled, wondering what they would teach us about faces and related topics,” she chuckled. Designed to support career and personal life development, the program unveiled new perspectives and insights.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“It helped me see things from a different perspective and highlighted areas where improvements could be made. I also learned how to approach my responsibilities at work and within my family.” Rathnamma’s growth, adaptability, and pride are evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, Rathnamma became Captain in the cutting department. She proudly says,<\/p>\n<\/div>

“It was recognized that I possessed leadership qualities and the ability to manage and lead a group of people effectively.”<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But, her desire to learn led her to sign up for STITCH. A takeaway for Rathnamma was how to motivate her colleagues on a fast-paced factory floor. Her approach is \u201cgrounded and empathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Before they begin working on the machine, I make it a point to call them in advance,” she explains. Her proactive guidance ensures smooth transitions for her team from one style to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her dedication to her work and community is evident in her election as a committee member. Currently, she serves as an EHS committee member, focusing on the well-being and safety of her fellow workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

\u201cIf I could speak to my younger self, I would convey a message of resilience and pride. I would tell my younger self that she once may have felt confined like a frog in a well but broke free of those limitations.\u201d <\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rathnamma pursued her dreams, acquired new skills through hard work, and emerged as a leader, all while remaining deeply committed to her family and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
