In the future, I aspire to work at Caterpillar Inc. I celebrated my first salary by gifting my mother and sister earrings.”
“I used to be an intern, and am now a project assistant in the physics department at IIT Delhi.

Eventually, I aim to work at Syngenta, a Swiss agri-tech company.”
“I went through seven rounds of interviews before getting placed as a software debug engineer at Zoho Corporation. Before the interviews, I browsed the internet for aptitude tests and programming, and in comparison, my first day at work was easy—I attended an induction program. At Zoho, I create bots, identify issues with products, and fix them. I dream of launching my own start-up in the future.”
“As a detailer at Proxedge Solutions LLP, I detail steel used in constructing buildings. I like this job with design at its core, and I am excited as my company also handles US and Canada-based projects.
