 Astha, 20, is the younger of the tw o daughters of a R ajasthan Vidyut Prasaran N igam Limited (R VPN L), a

transmission company, executive engineer. She is in Jaipur for her w inter vacation.

 After the new s has got out that she’s got a pre-placemen t offer from the social media company for Rs  2.1

crore salary, including sign-on bonus and ESOPs, the phone at the modest Agarw al household in

government colony on Sahkar Marg in Jaipur hasn’t stopped ringing.

She got into IIT w hen her elder sister, Pavitra, graduated from IIT, D elhi, as a chemical engineer. She

secured all India rank of 90 in IIT-JEE 2011 and joined department of computer science engineering at

“She also got an offer from Google, but she didn’t take it,” her father Ashok Agarw al says.

“As a matter of fact, she hasn’t appeared for any other company during the placements.”

“What I liked about FB w as that is has much less employees than Google and it is easier to make an

impact w ith less people around,” she explains w hy she’s so happy for the offer.

“It’s a start-up kind of a culture, but more than anything, I guess it’s just a matter of choice.” Talking

about Zuckerberg, she says she didn’t get a chance to meet him personally during the internship “but I

recall from a recent new s w as that he w ears the same t-shirt every day so he doesn’t w aste time in

deciding w hat to w ear”.

“I think that is something very inspiring and people w ho complain about lack of time can learn somethingfrom this,” she says. Astha is one of the five other IIT-B graduates w ho have got FB offer: tw o during pre-

placements and three from campus placements.

 Astha w ent to St Xavier’s School in Jaipur and got 98% in C lass 12.
