The journey

Hi, this is Mayank Maharishi

Mayank, a Class 12 Arts graduate with no roadmap into technology, began his coding journey from school when he was introduced to CodeYogi.

After learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, he pushed further into React and Node.js, often practicing on borrowed time — before being recognised by the district authority who awarded him a laptop. The laptop didn't change his direction; it simply cleared the road he was already walking.

With no coaching, no science background, and nothing but discipline and self-belief, he earned his seat in the IIT Madras BS Degree program as well — proof that the right spark, given just enough fuel, can travel very far.
