Ran the entrance test that selected the first 24 students for Talrop

On 31 July 2017, twenty squad members from Cochin University of Science and Technology came to KVUPS Pangode and ran an entrance test across the school.

Twenty-four students were selected that day, to learn technology and entrepreneurship alongside their academics.

One of the volunteers who ran the test that day was Jones Joseph, then in his third year of B.Tech IT. He went on to become the CEO of Talrop.

Five days later I sat with their parents. Four months after that, the first Techies Park opened inside the school.
