Class 7 student from Hyderabad hired as data scientist by a software firm

A Class 7 student, Siddharth Srivastav Pilli has been appointed as a data scientist by a software company in Hyderabad. The 12-year-old boy now works for Montaigne Smart Business Solutions.

Like his father, who learned cloud computing and artificial intelligence at a very young age, Siddharth says that he drew inspiration from Tanmay Bakshi who got a job in Google at a very young age as a developer.

Siddharth thanked his father for driving his interest towards coding from a very small age. "My father helped me a lot to understand coding by showing different biographies. All I am today is because of him," added Siddharth, the young data scientist.

The boy's aim is to become an entrepreneur and help society.
