“But I wanted more from life.
“My father is a farmer. We live in a small village in AP.
“I was the 1st ranker in 10th Class in my entire Mandal. With my results, I got a free college seat. My uncle convinced my parents of my further studies.
“During the pandemic, I joined an online course and started studying at home.
“I didn’t have a laptop, so I used an old phone. Internet connection was weak in the village in the evenings. So, I used to wake up early, go to the terrace for better signals and finish my classes by afternoon.
“During interviews, my cousin lent me his phone and data pack.
“People didn’t understand my stubbornness for studying. They thought it’s useless for a girl.
“But, they no longer think this way.
“Because, for the first time in my village, a girl graduated and got an IT job.”
