Riti Kumari, a software engineer from Bengaluru, turned down 13 job offers, including ones from TCS, Infosys, and Wipro, to pursue an internship at Walmart.
Despite the lower stipend and temporary nature of the internship, Kumari was inspired by her sister's example of following her instincts against family wishes.
Her sister, Preeti Kumari, also made a non-conventional choice by choosing GATE over job offers, which motivated Riti to take the risk.
Riti's decision paid off, as she excelled during her internship, secured a job offer from Walmart, and now earns over Rs 20 lakh per annum, making her parents proud of her achievements.
