At the age of seven, Tanmay had set-up a channel — Tanmay teaches —where he provides magic of decoding programming and also talks about careers on it. “Programming is a very good career opportunity, as developing a language is an art in itself. Any techology company needs a programmer and a best in the field can grab a fat pay package.” The channel has around 2.8 lakh subscribers.
Tanmay also praised Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. “India is already a place for emerging companies and start-ups, and various universities including IITs, and other national institutes are now offering more practical based courses,” Bakshi said.
The young boy, who left India when he was just one-years-old, wants to apply his resources to uplift the education and medical sector of the country. “Like Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and others, I also want to use my resources to help country to move forward.”
The 14-year-old who is now in grade 10 and aspires to pursue programming from either Stanford University or Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Apart from programming, the boy loves to read science fictions and detective stories.
Bakshi was in India to attend an event organised by BPB publications at Amity University and Galgotias University, Noida.
