From Woodcutter to Coder: The Day a Family's Income 6x-ed Overnight

Whenever someone asks why I’m building Cactro, I tell them the story of a coder who was working as a security guard before we placed him at a 5.5 LPA job.

His family’s annual earning was less than 1 lakh rupees. He dropped out of college due to a financial crisis and started working as a woodcutter to make ends meet.

He found us through an online forum and reached out. We asked him to go through our testing process, vetted him, then pitched him to several companies.

I will never forget the day he got placed. His family income got 6x-ed overnight! I’ve kept his long message in my smile-file for years now.

This is why I started Cactro, to bet on the underdogs, to find talent in places no one looks.

Our core mission is to make people’s backgrounds disappear.

Which city or village you come from, which school or college you went to, which job you’re currently or have previously been at - none of it matters for us.

All that matters is your resilience. Your passion to solve problems and your commitment to winning.

Tech isn’t just for the elite. It’s for anyone who dares.

P.S. What we do at Cactro? We uplift families into new economic classes.
