• Despite his humble background, Atulya was determined to establish his own business from a young age; however, founding a startup proved to be a challenging endeavour for him. Nevertheless, his unwavering determination motivated him to work hard during his college placement days. His hard work paid off when he secured the highest number of placements with the highest package of the batch, bringing him one step closer to achieving his dream.

• After completing internships at various companies, Atulya joined Google as a Software Development Engineer (SDE) in 2015.

• As Atulya’s vision began to take shape, he recognized the need for additional support in the form of co-founders. He invited his friends Aashay Mishra and Manish Agarwal to join him as co-founders of the company PrepInsta. What had initially been a passion project soon transformed into a viable business opportunity, prompting the three individuals to leave their full-time employment and set up an office for their startup in Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
