Meet Avni Jain, hired by Google for record breaking salary by..., not from IIIT, IIM, VIT, BIT, she is from....
Getting a job in a giant tech company like Google is the dream of millions of students. In such a situation, if a student reaches Google on the basis of his hard work and skills without studying from a top branded college in a big city, then that story becomes really inspiring. One such story is of Avni Jain, who studied from a college in Jharkhand and then got directly selected for the post of software engineer in a multinational company like Google. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to call her a Google Girl.
Who is Avni Jain?
Avni Jain is originally from Indore, Madhya Pradesh. She completed her schooling from a reputed private school in Indore. Avni was good at studies since childhood and had a keen interest in technology. In the year 2021, she passed the 12th examination with good marks. After this, she decided to make a career in the field of engineering.
Studied from IIT ISM Dhanbad
After 12th, Avni got admission in Indian Institute of Technology Dhanbad (IIT ISM Dhanbad). She has obtained a B.Tech degree in Computer Science Engineering and completed her engineering this year.
In the third year of engineering, Avni got a golden opportunity to do an internship at Google. This was the result of her technical proficiency, projects and coding skills. During her internship at Google, she worked on big projects, which increased her professional understanding and confidence a lot.
Did she work as a mentor?
As soon as Avni completed her B.Tech, she got a job offer from Google as a software engineer. This offer was for a package of lakhs, which is like a dream for any fresher engineer. It is not easy to get selected directly in a company like Google, but Avni had a strong hold on subjects like coding skills, data structure, algorithm, and system design.
After the internship experience, Avni worked as a mentor in a technical community called CodeISM. Here she used to guide junior students in coding, problem solving and interview preparation. This improved her leadership qualities and teamwork skills, which helped her a lot during placements.
She also performed brilliantly in his interview rounds and finally Google made him a part of its global team. Avni's success is proof that if the goal is clear and hard work is done continuously, then no destination is far.

Google to invest $6 billion in 1-GW data centre project in Andhra Pradesh
Google will invest $6 billion to develop a 1-gigawatt data centre and its power infrastructure in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh in the Alphabet unit's first such investment in India, government sources said on Wednesday. Due to be built in the port city of Visakhapatnam, the data centre investment includes $2 billion in renewable energy capacity that will be used to power the facility, two Andhra Pradesh government sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The search giant's data centre will be the largest in capacity and investment size in Asia and is part a multi-billion-dollar expansion of its data centre portfolio across the region in countries including Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. In April, Alphabet said it was still committed to spending some $75 billion this year to build data centre capacity despite the economic uncertainty resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump's global tariff offensive. Alphabet did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment. Andhra Pradesh's information technology minister Nara Lokesh, who is in Singapore to discuss investments with thegovernment and business leaders there, did not comment on the Google investment. "We've made certain announcements like Sify, which are public," he said, referring to a 550-MW data centre Sify Technologies plans to build in the state. "There are certain announcements which are not yet public. In October, we will make those announcements." Andhra Pradesh, a state run by a leading ally of India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was split into two in 2014, losing its former capital Hyderabad and a major revenue source to the newly created Telangana state. Andhra Pradesh has since been looking to attract investments to ease the financial strains of high debt and social spending. Lokesh said Andhra Pradesh has already been able to finalise investments in data centres with total capacity of 1.6 GW, adding that it aims to build 6 GW of data centres over the next five years from nearly zero currently. He expects the initial 1.6 GW of already agreed data centres to be operational in the next 24 months. That would be more than the 1.4 GW currently in operation in the entire country, according to real estate consultancy Anarock. "We're also working on getting three cable landing stations in Visakhapatnam. We want to create enough of cable network, which will be two times what Mumbai has today," Lokesh said. Cable landing stations - typically located close to data centres requiring fast and reliable connections to global networks - are used to store equipment which receives and relays data from undersea cables. Lokesh also said the state was looking to build up energy infrastructure to meet sustainability requirements of data centres. He said he anticipated power generation capacity requirements of as much as 10 GW from the electricity-intensive industry over the next five years. "Majority will end up being actually green energy, and that's the unique value proposition that we bring to the table," he said. Some of the additional capacity will be coal-fired, however, as data centres require reliable, high volume power throughout the day, he added.

Andhra Pradesh, Google Sign $6 Billion Worth Major Data Centre Deal: Sources
Andhra Pradesh has closed a major data centre deal with global tech giant Google and leading Indian Information and Communications Technology (ICT) service provider Sify. These agreements, totalling $7.9 billion in investment and contributing 1.55 gigawatts (GW) to the state's data processing capacity, a source in the Andhra Pradesh government told NDTV. Google is set to invest a staggering $6 billion in a 1 GW data centre in Andhra Pradesh. Sources indicate that this massive facility will be located in the port city of Visakhapatnam. Notably, $2 billion of this investment is earmarked for developing renewable energy capacity to power the centre, aligning with the growing global demand for sustainable digital infrastructure. This project alone is expected to be the largest in Asia, both in terms of capacity and investment. Complementing this, the Andhra Pradesh cabinet, in its meeting last week, officially approved a substantial data centre project with Sify. This initiative involves an investment of approximately $1.9 billion for a 550 MW data centre facility. Andhra Pradesh has worked on attracting IT and technology-related businesses, particularly through its recently launched IT & Global Capability Centres (GCC) Policy (4.0) for 2024-2029. This policy offers a range of incentives, including capital subsidies, rental assistance, power incentives, and tailor-made packages for mega-projects, aiming to bridge infrastructure gaps and foster a hybrid work ecosystem. Andhra Pradesh's Minister for IT, Electronics, and Education, Nara Lokesh, has been a vocal proponent of the state's data centre ambitions. He recently said that Andhra Pradesh has already finalised investments for data centres totalling 1.6 GW and aims to build an ambitious 6 GW of data centre capacity over the next five years from its current near-zero base. Mr Lokesh also said that there were plans to establish three new cable landing stations in Visakhapatnam, further positioning the city as a crucial digital gateway for India and Southeast Asia, potentially rivalling existing hubs like Mumbai. A key highlight of these investments, particularly the Google project, is the emphasis on renewable energy. The state government has actively promoted the development of green energy solutions to power these energy-intensive facilities, envisioning most of the required 10 GW power generation capacity over the next five years to come from green sources. Beyond these investments, the data centres are expected to be major job creators, offering a wide range of opportunities in technology, operations, and support services. The state's focus on skill development initiatives, including the "Future Skills Credit Scheme," aims to ensure a ready and skilled workforce for these emerging industries.
