My schooling happened a bit differently from others. As I was in an orphan hostel, there was not concept of formal schooling. We were taught Sanskrit and Vedas only. Therefore, I didn’t go to a school like regular children do.

One of our God fathers explained to our Swamiji the importance of normal schooling and modern education. He told Swamiji that to get a good private or government job the children need to go to a formal school. It was after he was convinced that he allowed us to go to school. So 11 of us prepared to appear for Class 10 exam as private candidates.

We studied hard for the exam. One teacher came every day to tutor us. However, when the result were declared only one boy out of 11 of us cleared the exam. We tried again and we passed the second time. We took admission in Sharada College to complete Higher Secondary. Thereafter we joined Vasavi Vijnana College in Vijayanagar to pursue B Com.

My first job

I started my career as a data entry operator at Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Bangalore.  I worked under Joint Secretary and four years later I got a job opportunity in Riyadh. After working there for two years as Secretary / Admin in a construction company I came back and started working in Ascent Consulting Services Pvt Ltd. Presently I am working in KPMG India as Admin Executive.
