“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.
