Archa's Story I’ve always been fascinated by technology, so when it was time to choose my stream in 11th grade, I went for PCM with Computer Science without hesitation. We started learning Python, and luckily, I had a really great teacher who made the subject enjoyable and accessible. She would give us coding problems that weren’t too difficult, but just right for a beginner like me. I found myself genuinely enjoying the challenge of solving those problems, and gradually, I started investing a lot of my time into coding. The more I learned, the more I realized how amazing it is that we can solve real-world problems just by thinking logically and writing code. To me, that’s incredibly cool. I also admired people who could code,in my eyes, they seemed really smart and creative. That admiration slowly turned into a dream,I wanted to become one of them. I wanted to build cool products, create solutions that could make a difference, and be part of the tech world. That’s why I chose BTech in AI and Data Engineering, to follow that passion and turn my childhood fascination into something real.

🙋‍♀️ Archa's Motivation

Tech always felt pretty cool to me as a kid. I’d see people coding and think, “Wow, they’re so cool!” That little spark stuck with me and eventually pushed me to choose BTech in AI and Data Engineering. But honestly, I’ve never had anyone in my family or even in my circle,who could guide me through this. No mentors, no one to say, “Hey, this is the way.” So, I’ve just been figuring things out as I go. What keeps me going is the dream I had as a 12 year old,to live a life where I solve real problems through code, become someone who's joyful, inspiring, and independent, and yes ,support myself and my family doing what I love. That’s why SheCodes means so much. It’s not just about learning to code,it’s about finding direction, support, and maybe even a little sisterhood along the way. If I get this chance, Iam determined to make the most out of it.

🤹‍♀️ Archa's Hobbies

In my free time, I love reading books,especially poems and other philosophical and literary texts. Sometimes, I even try my hand at writing a few poems myself. I also really enjoy watching movies and chatting about them with my friends. And of course, I love spending quality time with my family and our dog.

The Delac Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The Delac Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
