Ankush Dharkar

I've been deeply inspired by Ankush's work—both by how he leads and how he uplifts others. He has a rare gift for explaining complex ideas with genuine passion and for dedicating real time to students and up-and-coming developers so they can upskill and improve their lives. Through his platform Real Dev Squad (and related initiatives), Ankush focuses not just on coding or tools, but on software engineering fundamentals, communication, ownership, algorithms, team collaboration, and life skills. What impresses me most: He doesn't just teach; he empowers students to become leaders in their own right. His explanations are clear, insightful, and full of enthusiasm that makes technical growth feel exciting. He shows what it means to invest in others—time, effort, mentorship—not just for their skill sets but for their potential and character. Visiting his website and reading about Real Dev Squad gave me a clearer view of how a true mentor can catalyze meaningful change. In short: working with or being guided by Ankush isn't just about getting better at technology—it's about growing into someone who knows how to think, lead, and make a difference.
