365telugu.com online news, Hyderabad, May 27, 2022: Relevel by Unacademy is India’s first hiring platform that empowers job-seekers to showcase their skills through tests. Relevel by Unacademy democratises access to young Indians to work at some of the finest companies in the country based on their skill. As part of their success, Relevel shares inspiring stories of Porla Tej Sharan, Navneeth Bora Reddy, and Saipranay Kalleda.

Porla Tej Sharan comes from a military family who always preferred a public sector job over private sector. His corporate dream was born in college when he was made head of the Liaisoning & Marketing Team. While managing events & quoting costs to clients, he realised his potential. However, it was the American series ‘SUITS’ that fueled his corporate desire. Its portrayal of the corporate world made him crave a similar experience.

Driven by that thought, he hustled from the start. At his first job, he met a 3-week target in 4-5 days & was made team leader. Having his own team at 21, motivated him immensely! He was looking to grow his career exponentially when his friend suggested him to take Relevel’s Business Development Test to land a job that would be a good fit for his skills.

In his excitement to attempt the test, he paid little attention to the format & failed on his first attempt. However, the very next day, he tried again & sailed through it. NovaBenefits hired him as a Business Development Executive that too with a 77 percent raise in salary.

Navneeth comes from a village called Sadashivpally in Telangana. All his life, he has seen his father toil in the fields from dusk to dawn, so that he could provide him with the best of facilities. Though resources were small, he never stopped Navneeth or his sister from dreaming big. He remembers wondering how a tiny remote could control a television from such a distance. Thinking of it now, it was his curiosity about how things worked that drew him to pursue engineering.

However, soon after his sister’s final year of college, she had to sit back home due to a lack of opportunities. She would say, ‘Navneeth, the day you get a job and earn your first salary, I will feel as if I have achieved something in life!’ She even gave him her laptop so that he could practice coding and learn more about programming. 

From that day on, he was living to accomplish two dreams. One year later, when he topped the Frontend Development Test at Relevel and got a job at MoEngage, he felt happiness like never before. His parents had little idea what all this was about. They just thought it was another exam he had to take to pass his college degree. After his final interview, he received his first job offer in one of those big companies we only read about in the newspapers. He hadn’t seen his sister this happy ever. As for him, his biggest accomplishment is that he lived up to the faith that his family put up in him. 

Saipranay Kalleda started an online business with friends in college but didn’t think it would change his life. For most of his engineering days, he felt like a fish out of water. Most of his peers wanted to either pursue tech roles in the corporate world or become faculty members in his own college. However, he knew from within this was not the kind of future he wanted for himself. A thought occurred to him, why not start his own venture? Excited, they even decided on a name- “T-shirt Baba” and put their brains into making it a hit. But not to their wildest imagination had they imagined, that this zero-investment venture would end up making 25 Lakhs in revenue. 

T-shirt Baba gave his life meaning and fueled in him a passion for business. Even though they had to shut it down because they were not ready to scale it up, it gave him clarity regarding his own future. After graduation, he realised he needed to get a sound understanding of how a successful business is run, and so applied for an MBA in France. However, owing to the pandemic, he couldn’t pursue it. Deterred to make his mark in the field of business, he didn’t give up. Instead, he decided to get some hands-on experience & accepted a supply chain operations role at Amazon.

While this introduced him to the operations side of the business, there was much left to be learnt on the sales front. He started exploring more opportunities when he heard about Relevel & immediately decided to take their Business Development Test. Not only did he land a job as a Business Development Executive, but also got a 50% hike in salary.

He felt the same sense of accomplishment that he had during his T-shirt Baba days. It gave him the confidence that he was on the right track & made him optimistic about his future in this field.
