Meet Vivek Sharma, a https://t.co/YSvOF5fxhn Computer Science gold medalist from IIT Bombay, who left a $240,000-a-year (₹2.9 crore) US job to run a small grocery store beneath his house and take care of his parents by staying close to them.
Coming from a simple lower-middle-class family in Kanpur, he worked incredibly hard to achieve his dreams. His father was a railway clerk, and his mother gave tuition classes to support the family.
Like many Indian parents, they sacrificed everything for their son's education. Their savings were used, jewellery was sold, and every rupee was carefully managed so that Vivek could study in Kota and later get into IIT Bombay.
Years later, all those sacrifices seemed worth it.
In his final year, Mr. Sharma received a dream job offer from a San Francisco-based startup with a package worth nearly $240,000 per year. Visa sponsorship, relocation, a global career.....
everything was ready.
Right before joining the US job, tragedy struck. His father suffered a heart attack, and his mother was diagnosed with cancer.
He chose to sacrifice his career.
Now, he runs a grocery store. He also teaches coding to underprivileged children. Vivek says, "My parents are my biggest company."
