We recently celebrated the incredible journey of our first Hyderabad bootcamp students in a special project showcase with our partner, Freshworks, marking a significant step in their academy’s expansion to nurture new tech talent. The cohort was a powerful testament to second chances, including Class 12 students who had previously stepped away from higher education.
The event vividly displayed their growth, as one participant observed, from being those “hesitant to come to the stage” to confidently anchoring the event, performing in a skit on truth, and moderating group discussions on AI. Our special guests, Samuel David and Rukmani from Freshworks, offered invaluable guidance, with Samuel sharing three essential rules for success: “Learn one thing every day, do not hesitate to make mistakes, and if you do make mistakes, don’t repeat them.”
The event culminated in the announcement of the top all-round performers, who have earned a visit to the Freshworks headquarters in Hyderabad—a fantastic opportunity to connect with the tech industry. This showcase was a powerful demonstration of how targeted skilling can rebuild confidence and open doors to promising futures.
