Bengaluru boy bags silver at WorldSkills

When Pranav Sriharsha Nutalapati was a teenager, he chose to focus on coding instead of studying like most students his age. He had a passion for web designing and coding, which led him to win a silver medal in the web technologies category at the WorldSkills competition in Russia.

Pranav created a web page specifically for the competition, which attracted over 250,000 attendees from 63 different countries. He proudly mentioned that he possesses a creative mindset when it comes to writing codes for web pages. Pranav is currently a 12th-grade student at Legacy School in Bengaluru.

At the age of 12, Pranav’s parents advised him to give programming or web development a try. Taking their advice, he joined a private institute to learn these skills. In 2016, Pranav achieved the sixth position in web technologies at IndiaSkills.

Even during his time in elementary school in the US, Pranav was known as the “tech support” kid because he would fix computers at school. His father, Sriharsha Nutalapati, proudly mentioned this fact.

For his future, Pranav has aspirations to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Artificial Intelligence from one of the top universities in the United States.
