Satyam’s journey began in 2011 when he first attempted the IIT-JEE at the young age of 12, securing an All India Rank (AIR) of 8,137.

Born to a farmer in Bihar’s Bhojpur district, Satyam’s early life was far from easy. He moved to Kota, Rajasthan, to prepare for the IIT-JEE, where he studied diligently in the well-known coaching centers there. Despite coming from a modest background, he set ambitious goals for himself. At a young age, he even spoke about wanting to create something revolutionary like Facebook, showing his passion for technology and innovation.
After clearing the IIT-JEE, Satyam pursued a BTech-MTech Dual Degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kanpur, one of India’s top engineering institutes. He didn’t stop there; his love for learning took him to the United States, where he earned a PhD by the age of 24. According to his LinkedIn profile, Satyam has interned at Apple as a Machine Learning Intern and is currently looking for new career opportunities.
