Journey Ahead: Exploring Kirti V's Blend of Poetry, Purpose, and Teaching
Kirti V., a teacher and an "accidental poet" from Kerala currently residing in Bangalore, has been shortlisted as one of the six distinguished candidates for the Tribute Global Digi Awards for Women 2025. This prestigious award recognises outstanding women across literature, education, medicine, and philosophy who have created significant social impact through their work and voices.
Kirti's poetry, rooted in lived experience, emotional nuance, and social reflection, can be found on her website, www.kirtisignature.com. Her collections include Tides of Life (2022), From My Pen (2024), and Poetic Pearls (2024). Her poems serve as a means of forging connection, healing, and change.
The nomination and shortlisting for the award serve as a moment of affirmation on Kirti's longer, purposeful journey. She considers it a "pat on the back" reminding her of the purpose of her work. Kirti views herself as a sculptor of young minds and is driven by the mission to make learning engaging, joyful, and meaningful.
Kirti's personal reflection on the nomination and shortlisting is reflected in the lines from Robert Frost's poem, "The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep." This quote encapsulates Kirti's belief that recognition is not the destination, but a moment of affirmation on a longer, purposeful journey.
Kirti is a voracious reader, confident orator, and multilingual writer who has published over 50 anthology publications and three solo poetry collections. She admires Enid Blyton and finds inspiration in strong female figures across various sectors, including Sushma Swaraj, Indra Nooyi, Marie Curie, and numerous women athletes.
The other five candidates shortlisted for the Tribute Global Digi Awards for Women 2025 alongside Kirti V. include Ashima, an educator, poet, and mentor based in Mumbai.

Our blog believes that voices like Kirti's are the soul of literary and educational evolution, reminding us that excellence is about impact, intention, and the courage to keep going. Kirti continues to confront societal expectations and gender bias with resilience, hoping to change the mindset that limits women's potential. Her work is not just an expression of self but a tool for impact and transformation.
Kirti's passion for education and self-development extends beyond the classroom, as she seeks to inspire personal growth in her students and through her poetry. Her love for fashion and beauty is subtly woven in her poems, where she uses vivid metaphors and emotions to evoke a sense of style and aesthetic.
As a nominee for the Tribute Global Digi Awards for Women in multiple categories such as literature, education, and philosophy, Kirti's ethos embodies the fusion of these diverse areas—her lifestyle encompassing not just teaching and poetry, but also elements of fashion-and-beauty and education-and-self-development.
