Subham Verma, 20, lives with parents in a low-income neighborhood in Mumbai. “We live in a crowded street with 56 other families in a chawl” says the young aspirant.
Verma never discussed career options with his parents. “My family could not afford a high education owing to our financial strength” recounts the boy. At the training centre, Verma insisted on his fondness to learn coding. “It was the first time I could access such subjects which was beyond our affordability” speaks up an eager coder. His zeal to learn and pursue high-tech training made him learn Java, Bootstrap, CSS and HTML.
“My trainers were patient with my questions and even sometimes took up more time than usual to guide me.” Learning to code started as a training which then moved to his passion. Ushered by his faculty-turned mentors at the ANUDIP-Kandivali center, Verma’s keenness to code and learn computing scripts enabled him to sit for a Capgemini interview on completion of his course.
“My parents do not understand Coding nor IT, but they are thrilled at the new juncture of my life” claims the young mind, who now works as an Analyst in Capgemini, withdrawing a decent salary per month. His father proudly smiles, “My son is the first from this chawl to work in such a multinational.” Verma’s evenings after-office are different these days. “I teach coding to young kids in my chawl” grins the Capgemini employee.
