![Plot twist: the job search had a happy ending. 🎬💛
Job searches are a rollercoaster of hope, waiting, and “what if?” moments. We’re so glad we got to be in the seat next to Rahul for this ride.
Rahul Bhagat is now Program Manager – Scholarships at Youth Dreamers Foundation (YDF), and his words made our whole team smile. 🥹
Because at Ground Zero, it’s people first. Always. 🌱
