My Journey from School to an IT: How HCLTech TechBee Program Changed My Life

There are moments in life when one small decision can transform your entire future. For me, that moment came when I registered for the HCLTech TechBee Program — a program that not only opened the doors of a global IT MNC for me but also helped me become self-dependent, confident, and career-ready — all while pursuing my bachelor’s degree.

Today, as I work at HCLTech and pursue my degree from Amity University Noida, I feel proud to share my story with the hope that it may inspire many other students who are standing at the same crossroads where I once stood.

The Unexpected Beginning: How I Got to Know About TechBee

Back when I had just completed my 12th class, I had no clue that I would be starting my career so early in life. Like most students, I was planning to take admission to a local college for a bachelor’s degree.

But fate had other plans.

It all started when my Maths teacher informed me about a program called HCLTech TechBee and encouraged me to register. At first, I had many doubts — “What if this is a fraud?”, “What if it doesn’t work out?”, “Should I just go to a normal college like my friends?”

Still, I decided to give it a try. I traveled 28 km from my home to appear for the entrance exam. Little did I know that this would be a life-changing moment for me.

Overcoming Doubts and Taking a Leap of Faith

After clearing the entrance, the next challenge was deciding whether to join. Many of my friends and classmates discouraged me — “Don’t waste your time,” they said. “Just take a normal admission and don’t go for such programs.”

To be honest, I too was scared. There was a fee to be paid, and I wasn’t sure if I should take the risk. But deep down, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to start earning early and become self-dependent. So, I took a leap of faith, paid the fees, and enrolled in the program. Looking back, I can proudly say that it was one of the best decisions of my life.

From a Shy Student to a Confident Professional

 Before joining this program, I was not confident at all. I used to feel very hesitant to speak in front of unknown people. My communication skills were weak, and public speaking seemed impossible.

But everything changed during the CRT (Corporate Readiness Training). The trainers worked hard with us — teaching us how to communicate, how to present ourselves, how to interact with clients and peers. I am so thankful to them and to the program creators.

Today, I regularly interact with clients and requesters. I can speak confidently in professional settings — something that once seemed impossible to me.

The Biggest Benefits of the HCLTech TechBee Program

Here are the key advantages I have experienced through this program:

  1. Start Your Career in an MNC at a Young Age
    While many students my age are still figuring out what to do, I am already working in a reputed IT MNC and gaining valuable experience.
  1. Financial Independence
     I became financially independent early. I am now able to support my personal expenses and contribute to my family as well.
  1. Parallel Higher Education
     I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree from Amity University Noida while working. This means I don’t have to sacrifice my education to gain work experience — I get both at the same time.
  1. Industry-Relevant Skills
    I am learning advanced technical skills in my current track. The program gives hands-on training in technologies that are in demand in today’s IT industry.
  1. Personal Growth
     The program helped me develop essential soft skills, improve my confidence, and learn how to function in a professional environment. This will benefit me for the rest of my career.

A Message to Students Who Are Unsure

 If you are a student who is wondering what to do after 12th, I want to tell you this — sometimes, the best opportunities lie beyond your comfort zone. If I had not trusted my Maths teacher’s advice and if I had listened to the doubts of others, I would not be where I am today.

 Yes, I had doubts. Yes, I was scared. But by taking that step forward, I opened the door to a bright future.

 Conclusion: A Life-Changing Journey

 The HCLTech TechBee program has truly transformed my life — from a school student to a confident IT professional working in a global MNC. I have gained skills, financial stability, and a strong start to my career, all while pursuing my degree.

For me, this is not just a program — it is a journey of growth, learning, and transformation.

And to those who are considering this path — I say, go for it. It might just change your life too.
