CUT TO 2021
Manoj is a graduate from Bangalore who studied Microbiology as a specialization. He was from an upper-middle-class family, and since his childhood, he was known for his unique thoughts and ideas. His father, a retired government employee wanted his son to be a government employee.
He started his career in a call center then worked with well know companies like Mphasis & LinkedIn for almost 7 years. He was doing average and was not satisfied with where he was heading in terms of his career.
He quit his job to explore his likings. He used to write poetry and short stories from school days and writing would make him happy. Manoj enjoys going on rides with his camera at any time.
