Real Life Changing Stories

Ajay Kulkarni

M. Tech, JAVA Developer, Natwest

I couldn't pick up sounds since childhood and hence couldn't understand what others said nor could I communicate. With the constant support from my parents and teachers I went on to complete my MTech. It isn't easy for a person with disability to get a job in software industry. I was looking for a job and while searching for NGOs I came across Y4J. I was given an option to interview with Natwest, I got placed and this job got me an excellent salary package. Even in these hard pandemic testing times I managed to get an excellent job. I never stopped in believing in myself and my dreams and Y4J supported me really well in making my dream job a reality.
