He Was Not From Tech. He Did Not Let That Stop Him.

Before the Switch#

Debjeet Roy had a stable career going for him. As a Principle Consultant at Genpact, he was doing well by most standards. But something kept pulling him toward technology, toward building things, toward the kind of work that felt like the future. He was not from an IT background. He had no computer science degree to fall back on. What he had was the willingness to start from scratch, even if that meant sitting down to learn Data Structures and Algorithms while managing a full-time consulting job.

That decision changed everything.

The Point Where Things Had to Change#

Switching into tech from a non-IT background is not a weekend project. It requires months of consistent effort, and it requires doing that work while life continues around you. Debjeet enrolled in Coding Shuttle's DSA Course and committed to the process fully. Weekdays belonged to Genpact. Weekends belonged to learning. He showed up to doubt sessions, submitted assignments before deadlines, and kept pushing through the parts of DSA that most people quietly quit on.

The discipline he built during this period was not just about algorithms. It was about proving to himself that he could do it.

Where Coding Shuttle Came In#

The structure of Coding Shuttle's DSA program was exactly what Debjeet needed. The deadlines were strict and intentional, pushing students to take the course seriously rather than treat it as background content they would get to someday. Weekend doubt sessions gave him a space to ask the questions he had been sitting with all week. And Anuj's way of explaining concepts made topics that looked intimidating on paper feel completely manageable in practice.

For someone coming in from outside the industry, that combination of accountability and clarity made all the difference.

In Debjeet's Own Words#

"It was a great learning experience altogether, specially deadline part which compelled us to complete our tasks before deadline and doubt class session on weekends helped cleared lot of our doubts. I am very thankful to Anuj for explaining all the concepts in a very easy manner that anybody can understand."

Where He Stands Today#

Debjeet Roy is now a Senior Product Developer at Standard Chartered, one of the world's most respected banking institutions. He went from being a consultant with no IT background to building products at a global bank. The career he wanted was on the other side of a difficult, intentional period of learning and he walked straight through it.
