She is the founder of Femease, a FemTech startup focused on providing comprehensive health solutions for women, and My Cara, a sustainable menstrual hygiene brand.

Social Impact and Inspiration
[edit]Jyoti's interest in women's wellness began during her second year of college when she, along with her peers, undertook a project on the condition of marginalized women in India, specifically focusing on prostitutes. They collaborated with Bharatiya Patita Uddhar Sabha, an NGO in Delhi NCR, which provided medical aid to women in the GB Road area, a prominent red-light district in New Delhi. During these field visits, Jyoti discovered that many women lacked basic knowledge about health management, menstrual hygiene, and reproductive health.
