New Delhi, 8th April 2025 – Hailing from Etawah, a tier 3 city in Uttar Pradesh, Abhay Pratap Singh’s story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the transformative power of the right guidance. Despite the challenges faced by students from smaller towns, Abhay defied the odds and secured a placement at HDFC Life with a package of Rs. 5 lakh per annum. With two offer letters in hand and his MBA still ongoing, he is already on the path to a promising corporate career.
Growing up in Etawah, a tier 3 city in Uttar Pradesh, Abhay saw dreams that often faded under the weight of limited opportunities. In a town where government jobs were seen as the only viable future, he dared to dream differently. But dreaming was not enough—he needed a platform to turn his aspirations into reality.
With resilience and determination, Abhay stepped into the world of corporate careers, breaking through the constraints of his background. Today, with two job offers in hand and a placement at HDFC Life worth ₹5 LPA while still completing his MBA, he stands as proof that talent and ambition know no boundaries.
Yet, success wasn’t immediate. Abhay, like many from smaller towns, faced barriers—not just financial, but also in confidence and industry exposure. The world of boardrooms and corporate interviews seemed distant. But guidance, the right skill set, and a belief in his potential changed everything.
