Harsh Upadhyay is an IT Professional and thinks that doing quality work is what motivates him in life.

Harsh Upadhyay is from a small village Kapasan in Bhilwara. He is an Engineer and has been working as a Senior IT Architect in the United States for nine years.

Harsh says that he comes from a middle-class Rajasthani family and lives a very normal life. His father was transferred frequently so he got to stay at different places in India. His schooling started at St. Anselm’s Senior Secondary School and continued in different schools.

Harsh was also into Sports but his family never took it as a serious profession or career path to follow. He urges new parents to look out for different career options for their kids as times have changed drastically. He feels that kids of now would never be able to experience what Harsh did as a child. Living in a joint family, enjoying big family gatherings, and playing games like ‘Sitolia’ and ‘Gilli-Danda’ are things of the past now, according to Harsh.

Harsh says that his mother and father are his Role Models. His mother taught him to never give up and never leave any work in between. His father taught him to be punctual in life and also disciplined. He has taught Harsh to live a simple and content life. He is also inspired by his younger brother who is trying something very different in his life.

Harsh says that Covid was a tough time for everyone. Making a work-life balance and distinguishing between the office and home time was tough as working from home really disturbed that. However, he got to spend time with his family, especially his kids. He feels that Covid gave all of us a different perspective of life.

Harsh says that the best part of his career was moving to the States. Many people dream about it and coming from a very small village and making it big is something he is really proud of.

If given a Time Machine, he would like to relive old good moments spent with his parents and also relive his college life.

Harsh opines that a Leader should motivate others and be a part of the team. They should work with the team and not above them.

In his free time, Harsh likes to play sports like Table Tennis and do volunteering work for slum kids like teaching them.
