Kirthiv joined Isha Vidhya Vanavasi
in class 8 on a scholarship and did
well in his studies. Kirthiv's father is
a photographer and his mother is a
teacher. Due to a financial crisis in
the family, he had to take up a job
soon after finishing school, and is
now doing an internship at Tinkerkraft.
an AI company. in a few programming
languages such as Python and
Javascript. He earns Rs.15,000/month,
and is helping to keep the house running.
He managed to land this job after
doing a year-long course in
computer software at NavGurukul,
a non-profit organization that
provides software training to
young people from financially
weak backgrounds.
Kirthiv says that what he
loved about Isha Vidhya was
the learning based on activities,
and Yoga which helps him feel
refreshed and healthy in body
and mind. He attributes his
learning and journey this far
to the inspiration and motivation
of his teachers.
He's determined to resume
academics soon and work
at Google or Adobe in the
future.
