SUKRITI CHATURVEDI, RADIO JOCKEY

From engineering to radio-jockeying! Meet 25 year old Sukriti Chaturvedi, who made a huge switch in career paths and now hosts a show called “Mirchi Campus” on a leading radio frequency in Delhi. “How did this happen?” I asked intrigued, and Sukriti told me about how she got selected by an IT firm as part of campus recruitment but the joining date was more than a year later. In that timeframe, she participated in an RJ hunt and although she wasn’t selected, she began interning at the radio station. After 7 months of internship, she was hired and never looked back!

Not everyone gets to call work, “a big party” but RJ Sukriti is one of those lucky few who says, “We talk, sing, dance, make videos and you just don’t feel like getting back home!” She also loves engaging with people via her Facebook portal. She admits that she still has a lot to do in life that can qualify as achievements, but feels great when people remember her for her videos or recall a particular statement or dialogue from her video or radio show. At the end of the day she loves making people happy!

A very mature and grounded Sukriti, when asked about a rough patch at work, mentioned how letting go of her daily show and being put onto a new one was a tough transition. But she took it in her stride and welcomed the new experience and learning that came with the show. She went on to thoroughly enjoy the change!

Not comfortable giving suggestions because she herself is in the learning stage (and looks to her senior for advice and guidance), Sukriti has a simple message to everyone reading this. She says, “Every woman is different and unique. Don’t try to be like anyone else. You’re the most unique version of yourself. Embrace it!”
