1/ Most people “prepare for interviews”.
If you’re aiming for top spots like @Rippling , @databricks , @stripe , @nvidia , @Razorpay , @JioHotstar etc, you may need to rebuild yourself for that bar.
Here’s the PLAYBOOK for 0–5 YOE folks in India.
Save this. 🔖
🧵 If you’re in your early 20s, hungry, and actively looking for hustle culture (with real upside, not fake “startup vibes”), here’s a 2026 list of companies I’d aim for from India.
Remember, this isn’t a “safe” or “complete” list ;)

I didn’t crack JEE.
I didn’t get Computer Science.
I was a 60–80% student.
Yet I graduated with the highest CTC my college had ever seen.
This story doesn’t start in college.
It starts much earlier 🧵
If you've been thinking about buying a DSA course for a while and still haven't joined this one, here's the truth... you’re not really saving up, you’re just procrastinating.
And that’s okay if you’ve decided to skip DSA entirely.
But we’ve made sure that price isn’t the reason you never get started with DSA (we're completely FREE!😉)
It’s been just over a week since we kicked off our DSA journey together 🎯 (started Dec 29)
7 live sessions so far 📈, with a consistent 50-60 learners showing up every single evening 👥
This isn't a random "pick a Leetcode and go" deal.
Each session follows a structured path 📚, exploring problem patterns, decoding why things work, and building the mental model that makes tough problems feel predictable 💡
Every session now has:
📘 A structured DSA resource hub (your single point of reference)
🧩 Brain-teasing assignments built around the same thought process we discuss in sessions
💬 Daily community discussions inside Discord to ask, debate, clarify, and repeat
Watching the same group of people show up day after day has been the best proof that the sessions are adding real value...
If you've been wanting to get back to DSA with structure, consistency, and no pretentiousness, now's the time to join in... it isn't to late to get started!!
Sessions: Mon-Fri · 9–10 PM ⏰

What started as a learning community has now evolved into a multi-tenant platform where learners, mentors, and builders come together to learn, collaborate, and grow... side by side.
Here’s what the new TeamShiksha ecosystem looks like today:
🚀 Learn from Mentors (Live & Interactive)
Join live sessions across tech, habits, and personal development... hosted by amazing mentors from our community.
👉 To get started, make sure you’ve onboarded yourself with the appropriate roles on Discord.
We regularly publish upcoming events... mark “Interested” to get a reminder when sessions go live!
💡 Collaborate on Projects (Mini Startups, Real Impact)
Inside Team Shiksha, projects operate like small startups — teams form around ideas, build together, and ship real products.
To join these, you’ll need the `project-contributors` role.
This role is assigned manually once every two weeks. Stay tuned for the next onboarding window via the Discord channel: `request-to-join-team-shiksha-project`
🌱 Connect, Build Habits, and Grow Together
Our mission goes beyond tech. We want to help you build consistency, learn in public, and grow with others who share the same drive.

Stay tuned... we’re just getting started.

🔂 RT for good karma.
At @TeamShiksha, we’ve just wrapped up our second session reading “Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software” by Charles Petzold together, and we’ve finished up to Chapter 4.
Hosted by @jatinkrmalik, we have so far:
- Explored how simple, real-world signalling systems (like friends sending each other messages at night using flashlights or other basic signals) naturally lead to the idea of codes and protocols.
- Looked at codes and combinations, and how constrained channels force you to think carefully about what you encode, how you encode it, and how many unique symbols you can represent.
- Connected this to Braille and binary-style encodings, seeing how information can be represented purely as patterns of “on/off” or presence/absence, and how that scales into more complex symbol sets.
- Taken apart the “anatomy of a flashlight” as a gateway into circuits: switches, current, and the idea that something as mundane as turning a light on and off is already the foundation of digital signaling.
In just four chapters, the participants have moved from “everyday objects and stories” to the brink of thinking like a computer from first principles... seeing that computers are not magic, but layers of very understandable ideas stacked carefully on top of each other.
📚 Next session:
We start Chapter 5, where we push these ideas further and get closer to relays, telegraphs, and the building blocks of digital circuits... bridging the gap between abstract codes and physical hardware.
If you’re excited by the idea of truly understanding how computers work under the hood (beyond frameworks and languages), and you’d like to join future reading sessions like this with the TeamShiksha community, join us today 😉.
Introducing: Founders Assistance by @TeamShiksha
Transform your idea into a real, working product.
At TeamShiksha, we’ve evolved from a learning house into an app studio built around product-driven development. Our community of passionate developers, guided by world-class mentors, now collaborates to build the next generation of innovative products.
If you’re a founder, investor, or side-project enthusiast with an idea waiting to take shape... we’re here to help you go from concept to launch.
We work in small, nimble teams that deliver with intent and discipline.
Our mentors ensure every project meets real-world standards... no “college project” vibes here. From writing PRDs to designing user experiences and executing reliable, scalable code, we follow a complete, high-quality product journey.
We also invest in your success... offering development credits and even early-stage funding assistance to help you reach launch velocity faster.
What we ask in return:
If your idea turns into a real-world product and succeeds, give our contributors the opportunity to join you as founding engineers... the same people who helped bring your vision to life. Meanwhile, our mentors continue supporting your engineering, product, and culture-building journey from the outside.
So, if you’ve got an idea, bring it.
👉 Apply now for the Founders Assistance Program by TeamShiksha. (link in the thread below)
Help us reach D2C founders and anyone else you think may benefit from this initiative by doing a quick Repost 🔂 of this tweet.
Remember, most organisations, never have enough people to bring about all their projects to fruition, so if you think your favourite entrepreneur is funded enough to not need these services, well, they probably do 😉
Simplest way - How to Network in Tech 101!
Just join @TeamShiksha and their project-contributors team.
No other server will give you direct access to a Sr. Director in Tech like @sunnykgupta (Just check out where all he's worked, link in replies) who started the server and is quite active there.
All you have to do to get noticed by him, is just perform by being one of the active builders there. Just ownership, consistency and seriousness. Doesn't matter what college, age, background you have.
If I was getting into tech or trying to network or improve my branding, I would have dedicated 8-10 months and treat their project group as my main (or 2nd) job and perform with the same level of seriousness. In worst case, my programming prowess reaches a new level, in best case, well, let's just say finding and doing well at a really good job is going to be an easy by-product.
We take time, but we make sure you build something valuable.
We ensure you grow meaningfully and there is a tangible change in your quality of engineering.
None of that comes instantaneously, none of that comes without efforts from your end.
But if you are willing to put in time and energy, we are willing to mentor you into a meaningful career 🙃
Congratulations @techiepratiyush and I hope you grow faster than your peers and contribute back to the wider community to foster a culture of growth and learning.
@TeamShiksha is free and open for all…
🚀 Openlogo just got a major upgrade!
