    We report the discovery and validation of two TESS exoplanets orbiting faint M dwarfs: TOI-4479b and TOI-2081b. We have jointly analyzed space (TESS mission) and ground based (MuSCAT2, MuSCAT3 and SINISTRO instruments) lightcurves using our multi-color photometry transit analysis pipeline. This allowed us to compute contamination limits for both candidates and validate them as planet-sized companions. We found TOI-4479b to be a sub-Neptune-sized planet (\(R_{p}=2.82^{+0.65}_{-0.63}~\rm R_{\oplus}\)) and TOI-2081b to be a super-Earth-sized planet (\(R_{p}=2.04^{+0.50}_{-0.54}~\rm R_{\oplus}\)). Furthermore, we obtained that TOI-4479b, with a short orbital period of \(1.15890^{+0.00002}_{-0.00001}~\rm days\), lies within the Neptune desert and is in fact the largest nearly ultra-short period planet around an M dwarf known to date. These results make TOI-4479b rare among the currently known exoplanet population around M dwarf stars, and an especially interesting target for spectroscopic follow-up and future studies of planet formation and evolution.
