Navina’s Courageous Steps Toward a New Life

Some journeys begin quietly—without applause, without comfort, and often with challenges that go unseen. Navina Pednekar’s journey is one such story. From an early age, she learned that resilience, not circumstance, would shape her path. Each step she took was guided by determination, and every milestone was earned with courage.

When Navina enrolled in the Retail Associate program sponsored by India Factoring and implemented by TeamLease Foundation, she arrived with hope—but also with quiet doubts. “Will I be able to match up?” “Will anyone hire me?” These are questions many like her carry in silence.

The classroom soon became a space where fear gave way to confidence. Navina learned new skills, found her voice, and began to see not her limitations—but her potential. The turning point came when she completed the course and was offered a job—her first step into the professional world.

Today, Navina earns ₹25,000 per month, standing strong, proud, and independent. For her, it is more than a salary—it is dignity, confidence, and proof that her dreams were always within reach. Her journey reminds us that when the right opportunities reach those who need them most, lives are truly transformed. TeamLease Foundation is honored to be part of Navina’s journey of courage, possibility, and unwavering spirit.
