Our Story
Rajeshwari D Shetty’s journey began with a deep passion for teaching and understanding students beyond academics. With over 25 years of experience as a Statistics lecturer in some of Mangalore’s most reputed institutions, she has closely worked with students during their most crucial academic years.
Over time, she realized that many students struggle not because of lack of ability, but due to confusion, pressure, and lack of clarity about their future. This led to the foundation of DISHA – Empowering Minds, Enriching Light, a platform dedicated to guiding students towards the right career with confidence and clarity.
Her approach combines academic expertise with counselling insights, helping students discover their strengths, understand their potential, and make informed decisions.
