Balamurugan R has grown up in Madurai in a Tamil speaking household, he faced early loss and hardship when his mother passed away, leaving his father who works as a mason with limited education to raise him. Despite having a tough upbringing, Balamurugan’s fascination with computers and video games sparked a passion for coding that would end up defining his future. Navigating through Tamil-medium schools, he entered K.L.N. College of Engineering, where he battled the language barrier, eventually graduating in Computer Science. Even as the first in his family to graduate, financial struggles continued, and a job offer from TCS fell through during the pandemic that left him at a crossroad.
With no clear path, Balamurugan’s decision to join Masai School marked a turning point. He was drawn by Masai School’s pay-after-placement model, he fought through his struggles with English that quickly improved, thanks to the steady support from the team at Masai. After facing 15 unsuccessful interviews, his persistence paid off when he secured a role as an Associate Software Engineer at Disprz (Heuristix), beginning his tech journey in Bengaluru.
Balamurugan said “Masai School transformed my challenges into opportunities. It gave me the skills and courage to chase my dreams,”
Huxly Gerard Singh from Kanyakumari has a journey that is a testament to never giving up. A chemical Engineering graduate with multiple backlogs, Huxly faced many rejections and nearly lost hope as he fell into fraudulent job opportunities. However, a friend’s encouragement led him to Masai School, where the ‘Pay - After - Placement’ model sparked a glimmer of hope.
Huxly was first overwhelmed by the demands of Masai's bootcamp because he had no prior experience with coding. Yet, he persevered, quickly adjusting to the rigors of coding and excelling at teamwork. His career took off thanks to the focused practice interviews and intense training, which helped him land an attractive position as a software developer at CoinSwitch. Huxly is now working in a less demanding but nonetheless fulfilling atmosphere as he gets ready to expand his knowledge of blockchain development.
Huxly says “Masai gave me a lifeline when I needed it most. It was more than education, it was a second chance,”
