Smart Phone Repair for Smart Girl

“I grew up watching my mother stitch clothes and scrub floors till her hands were red raw, just so we could survive. I wanted to pursue higher studies but there was just no money for that. So I took a course in Smartphone Repair and a fire was lit in my belly.

I got a good job at HiTech Mobile Company as a Technician and bring home my salary of 10,000 every month - which is more than I ever dreamed! Now I’ve got my sights set on promotion, and am the pride of the family.” - Dipannita Koley, Ranihati, Howrah District, West Bengal.
