The story.
The second Chintan was for every college student in India who wants a remote tech job, wants to get into open source or GSoC, or just wants out of the placement rat race.
Jigyasu is a third-year student at a Tier 3 college in Ghaziabad who works remotely at a Japanese AI company, did GSoC with the Python Software Foundation and mentors open source at Newton School. He is documenting the whole journey so others don't have to figure it out alone.
