College Companion: Recent Episodes
Siddharth Gupta
Being aware of a lot of the educational opportunities that are there in India and seeing people still limiting their options to government jobs got me really sad.
So I decided to start a YouTube channel primarily for this purpose. This is College Companion and my idea here is to share and talk about lesser-known career options, degrees and opportunities! In case you like the idea and content here, and think that it could be helpful for your siblings/friends, It'd motivate me further if you can pass on this channel to them as well!
Cheers 🥂😄
