The journey

Hi, this is Payal Bhardwaj

Payal's mother works as a cook. Her brother is still in school. Financial conditions forced her to take a drop year after Class 12 — but instead of stepping back, she went deeper into code.

She started learning through CodeYogi while still in school and completed front-end development up to React. When her laptop stopped working, she continued on a phone.

Now she has a laptop thanks to CSR support and is working as a web developer intern with Team CodeYogi. In the coming year, she will be one of the core AI and tech mentors for her district.
