Born in the small town of Dimapur, Nagaland, life was never about luxury but aboutresilience. In a family of six, with my father as the sole earner and my mother a With limited resources but an abundance of determination, I made it to anengineering college. It wasn\u2019t the most prestigious, but what it lacked in reputation,it made up for in friendships. Among those friendships, I met the person who wouldbecome my greatest blessing \u2013 my wife.
Life after college, however, was far from easy. The job market was grim due to therecession, and opportunities were scarce. After spending some time in Kolkatasearching for a breakthrough, I took a leap of faith and moved to Bengaluru with myfriend Raj. That decision changed everything.
Bengaluru wasn\u2019t kind at first. The struggle to find a job lasted six long months. But I refused to give up. Eventually, I got an opportunity in a small company \u2013 withoutpay. It wasn\u2019t ideal, but I knew it was a stepping stone. That step led me to a breakthrough in a reputable software company.
Even then, I didn\u2019t stop pushing myself. While working five days a week, I dedicated my weekends to learning Java programming. Those extra hours, that extra effort, made all the difference. Slowly but steadily, I climbed the ladder, eventually landing a role as a Lead Programmer at JPMorgan Chase.
From there, my journey only accelerated. I was promoted to Vice President and later to Executive Director, leading some of the biggest and most complex programs at JPMorgan. The opportunities I received were incredible, but none of this wouldhave been possible without the unwavering support of my wife. She has been mystrength, my guide, and the reason I keep pushing forward.
Through it all, my family and friends have been my biggest motivation. Their belief in me fueled my determination, and their support turned my struggles intotriumphs. From a small town with limited means to leading large-scale programs at a global financial institution, my story isn\u2019t just mine \u2013 it\u2019s proof that withdetermination, perseverance, and the right people by your side, no dream is too big.
