An avid reader, Jyoti capitalized on her cross-cultural exposure, flair for writing, and creative pursuits to contribute to several articles in various journals and magazines.

As a committed and responsible Army Officer’s wife, Jyoti has functioned in progressive capacities in myriad spheres of the fauji life. From overseeing welfare of 250+ families, upskilling wives of subordinates & jawans, organizing professional events to host senior diplomats and adhering to official protocols, Jyoti has done it all. She is considered the ‘go-to’ person for all matters related to official events, parties and other activities conducted in the station where she is posted along with her husband and her two lovely children aged 6 & 4. Her dedication and commitment can be testified by the fact that she was honoured in 2019 by the Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA), an NGO working for the welfare of spouses, children and dependents of Army personnel. This kind of a recognition is bestowed annually, only on a handful of people. Inspired by Elizabeth Gilbert’s book‘Eat, Pray, Love’, Jyoti epitomises these all and believes in living life to the fullest. Each day she creates value by giving back to the society in all possible ways.
