Neresh, thank you so much for joining us today on under served

Thanks Andrew for having me here

So way back when like when you were a kid where you grew up was there much technology around?

Yeah actually like when I was in the schooling right so that time technology or computers was like not anywhere

So I haven't seen any computers in my school life so after completing my schooling when I got into my college

That is where the first time I have seen computers and that actually created curiosity into computers

Now were you programming them or like doing spreadsheets like what was your first interaction?

Yeah the first interaction was normally just like you know the spreadsheet MS office even the basics of windows and I think windows 311 or something

So those were some of the basic stuff it was not at all programming once I joined my college

that time I could not get enough school to get me to an engineering college

So the school which I got got me into Bachelor of Statistics

What school was that?

Maharashtra, Jira, Viniya City, Alberta

Actually like it doesn't have many big colleges this is one of the well known colleges in the place where I grew up

It's Vardodhara, Tate of Gujarat, Western part of India

It was a good college I got into MBSC statistics, got access to some of the computers

Nearby there was an institute, so that curiosity took me to join a private institute along with my graduation

That is where I think I learned some of the MS office windows basic and then even some of the programming language

It's Fox right at that time so Fox has its own databases and everything so you know query languages and everything
