Sheikh Abdul Sattar is the face of courage. Today he is working as a software engineer with an IT company in Bengaluru, but he had been on a roller coaster ride all his life and became a successful professional only because of his courage and perseverance.
 
Sheikh Abdul Sattar belongs to a middle-class family who educated himself under very difficult circumstances. Even when he was in his final year of education, he had to work as a delivery boy for the food distribution companies like Swiggy, and Zomato to support his family.
 
Before joining his job, he passed through a very difficult phase of his life. Sheikh Abdul Sattar worked for 18 hours - 6 pm to 12 noon. During this phase, he was also learning coding, the computer language.

It was during this phase of his life that a friend advised him to join a coding course. Soon, he was able to make web applications.

While learning to code, Abdul Sattar had started applying for jobs in IT companies. Eventually, he got a job in a firm called Probe Information.
