July 26, 2024

In the bustling town of Ankri, tucked away in Hooghly district 21-year-old Sk Mahfuj Rahaman Biswas was determined to carve a better future for himself and his family. His father worked tirelessly as a daily laborer under the scorching sun, and his mother, managed household chores with remarkable resilience, despite the weight of their financial struggles.

Mahfuj believed education was the key to escaping poverty. He studied hard but knew he needed more than just good grades to succeed in the modern world. Fortune smiled upon Mahfuj one day when he stumbled upon Anudip Leap Digital Academy, powered by Capgemini. Viewing it as a gateway to opportunity, Mahfuj wasted no time in enrolling himself in the ‘Certificate in Service Desk Executive’ course, undeterred by his lack of prior experience in the realm of technology. Guided by his trainers at the centre, Ayan Pal and Dibakar Nandi, Mahfuj delved into employability skills, honing his abilities to shine in the corporate landscape. Despite grappling with financial constraints, his determination remained unyielding. Each passing day saw his skills sharpening, and confidence growing.

Soon, Mahfuj secured a position as a Customer Support Representative at Tata Consultancy Services, among the big tech giants of India. Mahfuj’s stable income ensured his family’s financial security, easing the burden that had weighed heavily on his father’s shoulders for years. With each paycheck of INR 1.2 lakhs per annum, he channeled a portion towards his family’s needs, ensuring that his parents no longer had to worry about making ends meet.

“Grateful for Anudip and Capgemini’s support,” Mahfuj said humbly acknowledging their pivotal role in shaping his destiny. With his first paycheck, he didn’t indulge in luxuries. Instead, he bought new clothes for his family, expressing his gratitude and love in the simplest yet most profound gesture.
