professor.

But he took the Indian Air Force exam when he was at Bitspilani.

And when he got back to campus, they said, well, you can't take an exam without our permission.

He said, I don't need anybody's permission to serve the nation.

And that software will need to be re-engineered, which is what we are building.

We are working with scholars from IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, ETH Zurich, and IIT Kanpur, and then a team at BITS Pilani to build that software layer which sits on the hardware and the storage.

All of these things will have to work together.

This is not a one, two-year journey.

I have been creating content for the last six years.

I enrolled for electrical engineering in BITS Pilani Goa Campus because I couldn't get into IIT, which was the biggest, uh, disappointment of my life.

Uh, I just could not see that look on my parents, that look of, like, disbelief, of, of that sadness that we tried our everything and still he couldn't get into an IIT.

And that was like a chip on my shoulder that I carry to this day to, to ensure that that never happens again.

So then I get into BITS Pilani Goa Campus, and the only goal I had was to figure out a way in my life through which I can become irreplaceable out there.

So for example, if you meet an IITian, they'll always have a IIT tag, right? And so if you don't have that IIT tag, life is hard, is what I was told as a kid.

So my goal was to figure out what can I do to get something equivalent of an IIT tag, so as to say.

It's pretty much the same everywhere.

What's the roadmap?

Well, as of now, we're working with some of the very top tier institutions like Bitspilani, all the campuses of Bitspilani.

And we're also working with multiple other private universities and some of the state universities as well.

As part of this, the momentum that we have picked up already, where we've already signed up with over 100 plus universities, we have signed formal MOUs with us to partner, to offer MongoDB as part of the curriculum for their students in the campuses.

And my intent is that we have extremely, extremely smart undergrad population.

We have IITs, we have Bitspilani, we have like lots and lots of great colleges.

But what happens is that the default assumption is that if you're a smart undergrad, you have to get an internship in the US university.

And of course, almost everyone smart ends up going to the US after graduation.
