Engineering Student Secures Two Rs 50 Lakh Job Offers Without Traditional Applications
A third-year engineering student secured two job offers worth around Rs 50 lakh per annum without applying through traditional channels. He developed an AI-powered video editor with a friend, attracting about 13,000 users despite its limitations. A startup founder noticed the product on social media and offered him a remote role. Later, after directly emailing 30 startups, he received another offer from a Y Combinator-backed company. The student emphasized building skills and proactive outreach over conventional applications.
