When journalists interviewed 17-year-old Mohan Abhyas, who had ranked 64th in the famous IIT-JEE Advanced exam, he modestly proposed that others receive praise, demonstrating his modesty despite his outstanding accomplishments. Abhyas, who is currently 24 years old and resides in Palo Alto, California, works for Rubrik, a business that specializes in cloud data management and security.

Noteworthy information ~ Abhyas grew up in a modest home in Kukatpally, Hyderabad, where his family ran a small samosa shop. Despite his humble beginnings, he assisted his family by preparing samosas for street vending at a young age. However, as his academic responsibilities grew, he prioritized his studies and stopped helping out. With limited space and a bustling household, he often stayed late at school to focus on his studies.

His academic path has been incredibly motivating. Abhyas achieved remarkable results in the Andhra Pradesh EAMCET and the Telangana EAMCET, in addition to his triumph in the IIT-JEE. Notwithstanding these accomplishments, he is still committed to the greater good, which is to enhance his family's living circumstances and reduce their physical workload by automating their business.

In the future, Abhyas will be able to fulfill his desire to attend IIT Mumbai. He never quite achieved his dream of becoming a scientist, but he did succeed as a software engineer, graduating third in his department with an impressive GPA of 9.84.

Takeaway ~ Even though inner cities are harsh places to grow up and have few resources, thousands of inner-city children succeed academically. However, even some students who appear to be successful right away run a serious risk of giving up on their dreams of earning prestigious degrees or high-level positions. One should focus on and become inspired by their thirst for knowledge. Their attitude to succeed with an incredible amount of hard effort is astounding and initially seems unattainable!
