An emotional post shared by Bengaluru-based Microsoft manager Vyanktesh Bajaj has struck a chord online after he recounted taking his 81-year-old grandmother to his office for the very first time. Sharing the experience on LinkedIn, Bajaj described the moment as “bigger than any promotion” and reflected on his journey from a small town in Maharashtra to working at one of the world’s biggest technology companies.
Bajaj revealed that he grew up in Mangrulpir, a remote town in Maharashtra where exposure to the corporate world was minimal. As a child, he would watch towering glass office buildings on television and dream of one day working in a similar environment.
