Haryana, Oct 15: Meet Shraddha Kapra, the trailblazing young woman from a tiny village in Haryana who, driven by her unwavering determination, not only became the first engineering graduate from her village but also opted to follow her passion by running 'Apna College,' an educational YouTube channel that has quickly garnered a substantial following.

Fondly referred to as 'Microsoft Wali Didi', 'Microsoft Didi' or simply 'Shraddha Didi,' this 23-year-old has emerged as a beacon of inspiration for countless individuals in her village and beyond, thanks to her remarkable journey.

Shraddha hails from a small village in Haryana, where basic educational facilities were scarce. However, her relentless pursuit of knowledge led her to Delhi. She completed her primary and secondary education at Jain Bharati Mrigavati Vidyalaya, achieving an impressive 94.4% in her 12th-grade examinations and securing a perfect 10 CGPA in her SSLC.

Shraddha continued her academic journey at Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT), where she graduated in computer engineering in 2021 with an outstanding 8.8 grade point.

Following her engineering studies, Shraddha joined Microsoft as an intern for three months, and later embarked on a month-long internship at DRDO's research department. In July 2021, she was hired as a software engineer by Microsoft in Telangana.

Despite the alluring job opportunities at her fingertips, Shraddha was determined to chart her own path. This drive led her to establish 'Apna College' on YouTube, where she began sharing educational content. Her online presence quickly garnered a substantial following, with 354k followers on Instagram, where she is affectionately known as 'Microsoft Didi.'

Shraddha's inspiring journey at such a young age serves as a testament to the power of hard work and determination in achieving one's goals in life.
