Arunima Chakraborty
My name is Arunima Chakraborty, and I recently completed my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Computer Science and Engineering from Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology, Kolkata. Today, I am working as a Growth Analyst at a software development company, a milestone that once felt distant but became achievable through perseverance, learning, and the invaluable support of Mukti and my sponsor, YCPL/VIVO. My journey has not been without challenges. Like many students’ pursuing higher education, I faced financial and resource-related constraints while striving to build a career in technology. In December 2023, Mukti, with the support of YCPL/VIVO, became an important part of my academic journey. Their sponsorship and encouragement came at a crucial stage of my undergraduate education and helped me continue pursuing my goals with greater confidence. The support I received was much more than financial assistance. It enabled me to access educational resources, technical books, online courses, and learning opportunities that played a significant role in my personal and professional development. These resources helped me strengthen my knowledge in computer science, improve my technical skills, and stay aligned with the rapidly evolving technology landscape. As a Computer Science student, I understood that success would require continuous learning beyond the classroom. Through the opportunities made available by Mukti and YCPL/VIVO, I was able to invest in my growth, explore new concepts, develop industry-relevant skills, and prepare myself for the competitive job market. The knowledge and confidence I gained during this period helped me successfully transition from a student to a working professional. Today, as a Growth Analyst in a software development company, I contribute to business growth initiatives, strategic outreach, data-driven decision-making, and technology-focused projects. Every achievement I celebrate carries a reminder of the support system that helped make it possible. Looking back, I am deeply grateful to Mukti and YCPL/VIVO for believing in students like me and investing in our potential. Their commitment to education creates opportunities that extend far beyond academic success—it helps students build careers, support their families, and create meaningful futures. My story is one example of the positive impact that educational sponsorship can have. The support I received from December 2023 onward not only helped me complete my degree at Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology but also equipped me with the skills, confidence, and opportunities needed to begin a promising professional journey. I sincerely thank Mukti and YCPL/VIVO for their generosity, encouragement, and unwavering belief in the power of education. I will always remain grateful for the role they have played in shaping my future, and I hope to carry forward their spirit of empowerment by helping others achieve their aspirations as well.
