Who is Apna College Girl Shradha Khapra?
Born on August 1, 1999, in the small village of Nathupur in Sonipat district, Haryana, Shradha Khapra’s journey is a testament to the power of education and determination. Growing up in a modest one-room house with her parents and siblings, Shradha’s childhood was similar to many other Indian children living in rural areas.
Shradha’s father instilled in her the importance of education as a means to achieve her dreams. As a child, Shradha enjoyed watching television and participating in various activities such as singing, dancing, and sports competitions. Despite not winning any of these competitions, these experiences enriched her childhood and contributed to her personal growth.
In the 9th grade, Shradha joined debating classes at school, which significantly improved her communication skills. Recognizing the limited educational opportunities in her hometown, she enrolled in Jain Bharati Mrigavati Vidyalaya in Delhi for better prospects.
Despite her family’s preference for her to choose arts and become a teacher, Shradha chose to pursue science after the 10th grade. Her academic prowess was evident as she scored a perfect 10 CGPA in the 10th grade and 94.4% in the 12th grade.
Shradha then pursued computer engineering at Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT), graduating with an impressive 8.8 CGPA in 2021. During her college years, she secured internships at prestigious institutions such as Microsoft and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
In 2019, she worked as a software engineer intern at Microsoft for three months, and in 2020, she served as a research trainee at DRDO for a month. Her talent and hard work were recognized, and in July 2021, Microsoft offered her a full-time position as a software engineer in Hyderabad.
