Pranjali Awasthi's Success Story

Pranjali, the young entrepreneur, started learning coding languages when she was only 7 years old. By the age of 11, she had become a proficient coder. 

At the time, her family moved to the United States. Moving to the US was the best thing that could have happened to young Pranjali. This exposed her to a whole new world of possibilities, like computer science courses and competitive math programs. 

After moving to Florida, she interned at Florida Internal University's machine learning lab, two years after she studied mathematics and computer science. During her internship, Pranjali was responsible for searching, gathering information and writing literature reviews.
