LSPP gave me the chance to learn from industry seasoned professionals, build confidence, and develop my skills in leadership and professionalism. I felt the growth firsthand—it was practical and meaningful. One of the highlights was being able to share what I learnt, by leading sessions for thousands of peers, which felt incredible. It wasn’t just about personal growth but also contributing to Nepal’s tech ecosystem.

The most invaluable takeaway was the exposure to Leapfrog’s incredible culture. Over time, we gained both technical and non-technical skills, while regularly engaging with mentors in a supportive environment. We were also encouraged to take initiative and contribute to our communities, fostering leadership along the way. I was honored to be hired as an Associate Software Engineer after interviewing with the company, having ranked among the top three LSPs of my batch. The transition into my role was seamless, and I feel fortunate to work with such talented people so early in my career.
