However, all the hardships he faced never stopped him from achieving his dreams.<\/p>\n

The guy from Pehowa village in Kurukshetra has been offered a whopping 4.85 crores annual package by software giant Microsoft recently for his extra-ordinary anti-hacking software. Although he had cleared JEE entrance, Virender could never study in IITs owing to financial constraints.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cAfter my father who works as a laborer fell sick, I had to take up the job of a hawker. I soon realized that the money won’t suffice. So, I started giving Physics tuitions,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Virender Raika. He was a class x topper.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cThe idea to develop an anti-hacking system struck me while I was watching a movie. I saw a girl hacking into a system and then I thought why not develop a system that has a foolproof security. There are ways to hack into a system but no permanent way to secure it. So by working on various cyber theories, I made an anti-hacking system,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d stated the tech-wizard.<\/p>\n

This tech-wizard was giving a demo of his anti-hacking project to a group of expert hackers at Microsoft\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s office in Hyderabad when Peter Klein, the Chief Financial Officer of the Microsoft, offered him a job straightaway after being impressed by his demo online. Virender Raika will join Microsoft in November as he is currently pursuing B.Tech from IGNOU.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cI want to open my own company in India. I want to do something for my country. We are so dependent on the US for technology. I want to turn the tide,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d Virender said. His father Gyan and Mother Shinder had no idea about what their son has achieved.<\/p>\n

\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c5\u201cWe both are illiterate. We just know that Virender has got a job of 4.5 crore and companies from China and Japan are pursuing him,\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u009d said Gyan Chand, Virender\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s father.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
