JIYA SHAILESH

(A Businesswoman, Family Figure,
Traveller, Social activist, and Influencer)

Jiya, a remarkable MBA graduate, stands as the
Managing Director of JK Motors, a pioneering
multibrand car service center with state-of-the-art
facilities, servicing the vibrant cities of Vadodara and
Ahmedabad. Despite navigating a traditionally
male-dominated industry, Jiya has carved her niche
in the automotive sector, earning admiration and
respect. Beyond the confines of her corporate
duties, Jiya spreads compassion and humanity
through her tireless endeavors with the Shri Shakti
Charitable Trust. This laudable initiative is a
foundation of her humanitarian endeavors,
dedicated to uplifting underprivileged girls by
extending crucial educational support, covering
fees, and ensuring access to essential stationery.
Through her trust, Jiya organizes numerous
initiatives, including providing essential medicines
for cows involved in accidents and ensuring
adequate food for the bovine residents of the
“Goshala”. Furthermore, during joyous family
occasions like birthdays and wedding anniversaries,
Jiya extends her generosity by providing meals for
underprivileged children, spreading joy and
fostering a sense of communal celebration.
Additionally, during festivals such as Diwali and
Navratri, she distributes crackers and sweets to
spread the festive spirit. On Holi, she shares colors
and food, and during other festivals, she provides
relevant items so that the less fortunate can also
partake in the celebrations. Moreover, Jiya and her
family distribute blankets during the winter season.
These acts of kindness are carried out alongside her
husband and children, instilling in them the values of
compassion and generosity. Through these
activities, her children learn the importance of
helping those in need and
understand the concept of "sharing is caring."
