BENGALURU: In early 2002, Tripurari Mishra took a train from Gorakhpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh after an argument with his father and found his way to Bengaluru, where he started his career as a security guard. Ambitious and bright, he burnt the midnight oil to learn software coding, a most useful skill in India's technology capital. Today, he is a project manager at Mindtree and an example of how India's information technology industry has been a magnet for those looking to get ahead in life.
