News India Live, Digital Desk: There are many success stories, but Piyush Kapoor’s story is different. Can anyone imagine that someone can leave a wonderful job as a software engineer in the world’s largest tech company Google and the luxury lifestyle of California, America, just for a dream? Piyush, a resident of Lucknow, not only took this risk but also cracked the country’s toughest exam, UPSC, in his very first serious attempt.
Journey from California to Lucknow
Piyush Kapoor’s career graph was like a ‘dream life’ for any youth. Excellent salary, brand name like Google and opportunity to settle abroad. But something else was going on in Piyush’s mind. He felt that between coding and algorithms, he was not able to bring the change he had imagined for the society. This pressure pulled him back from California to the streets of Lucknow.
UPSC preparation: Hard work without any noise
The decision to leave Google was not easy, but Piyush’s intentions were steely. He kept his preparation very organized.
Advantage of engineering background: Piyush used his logical abilities and data analysis skills in his studies.
Emphasis on self study: He relied more on self-study and online resources rather than coaching.
Determination: Locked in a room in Lucknow, away from the glamor of America, he studied for hours and mastered every subject from current affairs to history and geography.
When the name appeared in the ‘merit list’
When the results of Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) came, Piyush’s name was shining in the list of success. His success proved that if the goal is clear and the yearning to achieve it is true, then no comfort in the world can be bigger than your passion. Today Piyush has become an example not only for those professionals in Lucknow but also for the entire country, who want to return to their roots and serve the country.
Piyush’s basic mantra for the youth
Piyush believes that instead of being afraid of failure, it is important to get out of your comfort zone. They say that UPSC is not just a test of bookish knowledge but also a test of your personality and patience. If you are clear about ‘Why’, then the path to ‘How’ is automatically found.
