Success Story: Failure shouldn't be feared, as it sometimes paves the way to great success. The story of Rithuparna K.S. from Karnataka is a testament to this. A few years ago, she failed the NEET exam, leaving her feeling hopeless about her future. At just 20, Rithuparna achieved what many strive for their entire lives. She joined the jet engine manufacturing team at Rolls-Royce in the UK, becoming the youngest female engineer there. Her annual salary of ₹72.3 lakh is a dream for many young professionals.
Rithuparna’s journey to success wasn’t smooth. After failing the NEET exam, she began preparing for the UPSC exams. But her father encouraged her to consider engineering instead. That decision became a turning point in her life and set her on the path to an inspiring career.
During her studies, she seized every opportunity to prove herself. She competed against students from Singapore, Japan, China, and Russia at an international conference in Goa, winning medals. This achievement led to an internship opportunity at Rolls-Royce, which she kept secret from her parents until the offer was confirmed.
Rithuparna was selected for the Dakshina Kannada DC Fellowship, where only 15 students get the chance to solve real-world problems. Rithuparna was initially offered a package of ₹39.58 lakh, but thanks to her outstanding performance during the internship, the company increased her annual salary to ₹72.2 lakh. Her journey is a powerful reminder that setbacks are not the end, they can be the beginning of something greater. Rithuparna is truly an inspiration to young minds across the country.
