QA Engineer Cybage

Today, I feel honored to say that I am a ‘Cybagian’. I came across an article about the CybageKhushboo scholarship in a newspaper in 2012. The scholarship has helped me to pursue my education, which would have otherwise come to a standstill. Apart from the funding, CybageKhushboo trained me to improve my soft skills. A special thanks to Ritu ma’am and Elston sir who taught us with so much dedication. CybageKhushboo is doing a laudable job by providing aid to needy students to enable them to fulfill their aspirations.

Coming from a humble background, pursuing higher education felt uncertain due to financial constraints, especially after the loss of my grandparents, who had always supported my dreams. Receiving the CybageKhushboo scholarship in 2019-2020 was a turning point in my life. It lifted the financial burden off my shoulders and allowed me to focus entirely on my BSc in Animation at Dr. D.Y. Patil College. More than just financial aid, CybageKhushboo offered constant encouragement and mentorship, which inspired me to push my limits. Today, I work as a Graphic Designer at A2 Digital Solution in Pune and have received awards like "Star is Born" and "Employee of the Month." I am deeply grateful to CybageKhushboo for being the foundation of my journey toward growth and success.

Staff Nurse Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune

I come from a small farming family in Junnar, where financial hardship was a part of everyday life. With only 1.5 acres of cultivable land shared among three families, and a year of no income due to heavy rain, pursuing higher education seemed like a distant dream. My brother works in a small company earning ₹8,000 a month, and we live in a modest two-room semi-pucca house. During the lockdown, I worked at a daily wage job just to save for my nursing education. The CybageKhushboo scholarship lifted a huge burden from my shoulders. Without it, we would have had to take an education loan. Today, I proudly serve as a staff nurse at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, supporting my family both financially and emotionally. I am deeply grateful to the CybageKhushboo team for believing in me and transforming my future

Software Engineer Bgauss Auto

Growing up in a drought-affected village, I saw firsthand how unpredictable life could be when your livelihood depends on farming. My parents worked tirelessly on our small agricultural land, but with limited rainfall, our income often fell short of even the basics. Affording engineering education felt like a distant dream. My father used his hard-earned savings and LIC policy to support my studies, but the burden was immense. That’s when CybageKhushboo stepped in. The scholarship relieved my family from financial stress and allowed me to focus entirely on my education at College of Engineering Pune. Today, I am proud to be working as an engineer at Bgauss Auto and contribute to my family’s well-being. CybageKhushboo didn’t just support my education, it transformed my life. I will always be thankful.

Design Engineer Paccar India Private Limited

My journey from a small farming background in Miraj to becoming a Design Engineer has been full of challenges and determination. With my father earning less than ₹1 lakh a year from a small plot of land and additional farm labor, affording an engineering education felt nearly impossible. My family even had to borrow money from relatives to cover my fees. Our home is modest and supporting both my and my sister’s education was a heavy burden for my parents. Receiving the CybageKhushboo scholarship changed everything. It not only eased our financial struggles but also helped me build essential soft skills through training sessions. Today, I work as a Design Engineer at Paccar India Private Limited with an annual package of ₹9.15 LPA. I am truly grateful to CybageKhushboo for believing in my potential and supporting my dreams.

Data Engineer Cognizant

When I got admitted to VIIT Pune, the college fee alone was nearly half of our family’s annual income. My father, who works as a cable collector and earns only ₹5,000–6,000 per month, and we were struggling financially. We even tried applying for an education loan, but it required a guarantor which we didn’t have. Just when we were feeling lost, I received an email from the college accounts department about the CybageKhushboo scholarship. That moment turned out to be life changing. With their support, I was able to pursue my education without financial stress and focus wholeheartedly on my studies. Today, I’m proud to be working as a Data Engineer at Cognizant, earning ₹4.5 LPA. Cybage Khushboo truly brought a "Khushboo" (fragrance of hope and happiness) into our lives. Me and my family will be forever grateful to Cybage for being the reason behind my journey. One of the great achievements for me is that now I am being able to support my younger sister as she pursues her MBBS degree. After receiving support during my own educational journey, it feels incredibly fulfilling to now be in a position where I can give back starting with my own family.”
