Amazon Engineer Leaves High-Paying Job to Join Indian Army as Officer at OTA Gaya
Shardendu Tiwari, a 27-year-old former Amazon cloud engineer earning nearly Rs 46 lakh annually, has chosen to join the Indian Army, foregoing a lucrative corporate career. Inspired by his father, a retired Honorary Captain with 36 years of service, Tiwari cleared the Army selection after eight attempts through the Technical Entry Scheme. He will be commissioned at the Officers Training Academy in Gaya, combining his technical background with military service. Another officer, Sparsh Chhetri, also left a corporate job to continue a multi-generation military legacy.
