His father says “He used to impress everyone with his talent even when he was barely five years old” and his talent compelled them to send him to Kota, Rajasthan for higher education. Satyam’s father is very proud of his accomplishment but he will not join IIT this year because of his poor marks. Satyam wishes to sit for the second time next year for a better rank. He aspires to develop a software company.
