Breaking Barriers: Jaswinder Singh’s Rise in the IT World

Meet Jaswinder Singh from Amritsar, Punjab, whose commitment and journey into the world of IT stand out for resiliency and growth. An alumnus of the BCA batch 2022 from Swami Vivekanand Subharti University, Jaswinder’s story can be estimated to be a transformation.

If one were to describe Jaswinder, one mostly may find him modest, sound judgment, even tempered and cordial. In his free time, he likes to spend time with his family and friends.

The Spark of Interest in IT

Jaswinder’s professional move into the IT industry happened in 2019, when a relative offered him employment. During that time he was working as a call executive in Tech Mahindra, Noida. This was the opportunity that roped him into the world of IT. Having studied in the Arts, he never had any technical background, however, he faced it head on by attending classes every day, and found a supportive ecosystem that helped him get through his impediments one after another.

A Passion for Knowledge Transfer

His natural ability to train students aspiring to enter into the field of information technology gives Jaswinder the ultimate kick in his work. “Seeing them reach their potential and succeeding, brings me immense joy,” he says. The passion for mentorship resonates with his belief in knowledge and paying back to society.

The ScaleupAlly Chapter

Joining ScaleupAlly proved to be a career-changing event for Jaswinder. At that time, the company was a new startup, and the energetic company culture driven by the founders vision had him quite impressed. “The support I received during my learning journey was invaluable,” he recalls. 

What impresses Jaswinder the most is the humility of the leadership. “The non-bossy nature of the founders is definitely one positive reason to work here,” he asserts, underlining that the company provides an environment that encourages collaboration and teamwork.

He draws inspiration from the hard work that CEO Manu Jain and COO Tarsem Singh put in to strive for excellence. “Their work ethic motivates me to give my best each day,” he says.

Embracing Challenges and Growth

This is Jaswinder’s case at ScaleupAlly, where he has been able to make it big. As a non-technical person, the mere prospect of proving oneself is worth everything. Leadership played a key role in his professional development-in providing learning materials and creating a nourishing atmosphere that gave him back his confidence.

A Word of Advice for the To-Be-Techies

If Jaswinder had to tell one important message, it would be for any upcoming analyst or IT professional: “Life will have ups and downs, and one must always remain strong and resilient. The world is moving fast, and one must keep on building skills based on an evolving environment.”

What makes ScaleupAlly Stand out?

Jaswinder values a lot of things when it comes to his workplace:

1. Inspiring Company Culture: Leadership’s way of working style inspires all employees in pursuit of excellence.

2. Appreciation: The highly supportive leadership builds an atmosphere in which the employees feel valued and empowered.

3. Employee Well-Being: Emphasis on well being helps us in the maintenance of a healthy environment to realize our individual peak performance.

A Story of Support

Perhaps the most etched experience for Jaswinder came during his worst-ever time when his 2.5 years old daughter was suffering from cancer. “Without any second thought, ScaleupAlly provided me with six months of salary without any deductions during that time,” Jaswinder recalls, with a tone rife with emotion. “Their support made a big positive difference in the well-being of my mental and financial health, and I’m grateful for whatever they did for me at such a bad time,” says Jaswinder.

Looking Ahead

The story of Jaswinder reminds one again and again of the impact a supportive workplace can have, and how strength can be drawn from resilience in the face of challenges. As he continues to grow inside the company, his journey is sure to be an inspiration for many others on their paths in the IT world.
