Mumbai, 14 March 2024:- In the heart of Jalgaon, Maharashtra, amidst the sun-kissed fields, a tale of resilience and determination unfolds. Meet Dnyanesh Mali, born into a humble lower-middle-class family, both his parents being teachers by profession. Hence, from a very young age Dnyanesh understood the value of education as both his parents viewed it as his gateway to a successful and financially strong life.

Dnyanesh Mali was always a diligent student, but his journey took a different turn when career opportunities post his graduation seemed uncertain. Undeterred, he persevered, graduating in Mechanical Engineering in 2021 from a tier 2 college, which did not offer any kind of placement support. However, he remained positive, trying to find opportunities elsewhere.

This is when he discovered the Full Stack Development Course on upGrad’s platform. He spoke to the upGrad counsellors and decided to take up the course. This proved to be the turning point in Dnyanesh’s life. With determination, he immersed himself in the comprehensive curriculum, guided by experts who fuelled his passion for innovation and creation. The course equipped him with industry-relevant skills, helped him polish them with hands-on capstone projects and offered placement support post course- completion. By the time he became a proficient Full Stack Developer, Dnyanesh already had an offer from a multinational corporation.

Dnyanesh Mali shared “In every setback lies a hidden opportunity, waiting for us to unveil its potential. Embrace the struggle, because it holds the transformative power to shape our character and fortify our spirit. upGrad was my window of opportunity, and I am so grateful for it.”

Today, Dnyanesh stands tall as a testament to the power of perseverance. Securing a respectable position at ComViva through Tech Mahindra, he epitomizes the triumph of grit over adversity. His family, once burdened with worries, now beams with pride at his achievements.

Dnyanesh stands as a beacon of success and inspiration to all those who face adversity in their pursuit of dreams. The constant support provided by upGrad throughout his journey played a pivotal role in his success and enabled him to carve a niche for himself in the competitive world of technology and development.
