A Hyderabad lad has surprised one and all by bagging the position of a data scientist at a software company at the young age of 12. Siddharth Srivastav Pilli is a Standard VII student of a Sri Chaitanya educational institution in the city.

Montaigne Smart Business Solutions has recruited him after testing his skills. The boy has said that his parents have always encouraged him to think beyond his age.

Notably, Siddharth said that he has been inspired by the 14-year-old Tanmay Bakshi, a Canadian-Indian, in dreaming big. A couple of years ago, it was said that Tanmay had bagged a plum job at Google. But the fact is that, he didn't bag any job at Google.
