Arijit opted out of traditional education (seventh semester, computer science) and went on to spend a full year learning through MOOCs and the Internet. A year later he started working with Airwoort (an intelligence driven social customer support helpdesk) as a Frontend engineer. Being an early member in the team and spending over an year, he has picked up some valuable lessons and some thoughts on the ethos of startups in India and has been going back and connecting some dots.
