20 Years old Rupesh Kumar has seen difficult times back home. When the floods hit his native Gopalganj village in Bihar, Rupesh had to go without food for weeks together. There was no electricity and he struggled to complete his matriculation due to lack of resources. Today as he sits in his airconditioned Noida office, he feels proud that he is being able to not only meet his financial needs but also sustain his family by sending money home.
“Resources are already sparse in our village. Floods left us devastated. Our past was difficult and present uncertain. But now that I have been equipped with trade knowledge, I feel our future will be secured”, says Rupesh. Along with 3 other youngsters he is learning tech-based and algorithm driven equity trading at Noida office of Share India Securities.
