When Parag Srivastava joined Anudip in 2018, he was looking for a way to build his career. Training in digital literacy, Excel and customer support helped him move forward. But Parag wanted that chance to reach others, too. Since 2018, he has given back to Anudip every month, helping more than 60 young people access training and placement. His story brings Pass it forward to life: someone helped him get started, and now he is helping others begin.
Despite the odds, he was determined to change more than just his own circumstances. Today, he works at a top private bank, Axis Direct, where his salary has grown 450% since he completed his graduation.
Yet a rising salary is only half the story. What Parag chose to do with it is the richer half. Every month since 2018, Parag has given back to Anudip. That steady support has helped more than 60 students find training and placement.
One person who was once on the receiving end of an opportunity, has since found their own way to extend one in our Daan Utsav 2026 campaign.
He believes that more young people deserve the same chance he once received. As he puts it, the foundation Anudip built for him made this journey possible. So, quietly, he now builds that same foundation for others.
Stories like this rarely announce themselves as significant. From outside, they look like an ordinary career, but they are exactly the point. The opportunity did not end with the person who received it. It simply changed hands.
