People often say, 'If you dream big, you achieve big,' and that's what Pavan Reddy Appakonda did. He has been a Computer enthusiast from the beginning when he was 12. Pavan started teaching himself how to program the computer at an early age and used computers to figure out how software and websites worked. With the help of a few coding classes, he started coding as a hobby, not sure of entering the professional coding world one day.

When asked Pavan about the challenges he faced in his personal and professional life, he responded, "My entire life has been an enormous challenge for me up to this point. Loss is an unavoidable part of life, whether it is a job, an opportunity, or a relationship. Fighting and overcoming the pain of some of the major losses in life and arriving here appears to be my most notable accomplishment." He also added that "Though these losses are major ones, they are as teachers, they teach a lot in life, they teach to push your boundaries and strengthen your mind to predict challenges and remove it from the root before they disrupt life."
I promised myself that I would never say 'No' to any opportunities that come my way because that helps me learn new skills, which indirectly helps improve businesses and indulges in social welfare. I also thrive on creating an ecosystem that helps in creating new jobs.
One of the most pressing challenges we face in the workplace today is how time-crunched everyone has become. While I believe that "there is no such thing as time, just such a thing as a priority." I firmly believe that an organisation must create an ecosystem to address this and relieve people's tension. Relationship and communication with employees play a vital role in converting a manager into a leader. According to Mr Pavan, a rule should be made in the organisation. Every manager must spend at least two hours each week one-on-one with each of their staff members. The session's primary focus should be an informal talk regarding the work, targets to be achieved, new targets set up, any challenges they face, and solutions. This will help to maintain a friendly atmosphere and give a boost to innovative strategies in the organisation.
In the end, Pavan would conclude by quoting, "Too frequently, organisations state that managing your career and growth is your responsibility, which is correct; yet, too many managers think or behave as if their employees' continued success, happiness, and performance is a significant concern."
