What Learners Say
About Us?

Join hundreds of professionals who've transformed their careers with Meritshot.

I was happy as a Data Engineer, but I always wanted to move into software development and had no idea how to make that shift. Meritshot’s mentors broke concepts down, gave me real projects, and grilled me in mock interviews until I felt genuinely confident. A few months later, I transitioned into a Software Developer role with ease.

Ritika Tanwar

3 yrs exp. |  Software Developer , Amazon

I came to Meritshot after 3 years as a Finance Analyst at ASML, with zero clarity on how to move into software development. Meritshot’s practical projects, step-by-step roadmap, and constant mentor support helped me rebuild my skills and my confidence from scratch. That’s how I made the leap from finance into tech.

Siddharth Jha

3 yrs exp. | Software Developer , HCL

As a Product Quality Tester at Hitachi, I wanted to move into software engineering but didn’t know what exact steps to take. Meritshot gave me that direction — real-world projects, patient mentors, and mock interviews that pushed me out of my comfort zone. That’s what gave me the confidence to aim for and crack top-tier roles.

Vivek Kumar

3 yrs exp. |  Software Engineer, Amazon India

I was working as a Solutions Lead at Whatfix but wanted a more hands-on technical role. I wasn’t sure how to close the skill gap until I joined Meritshot. Their mentors made learning structured and practical, helped me rebuild my profile, and prepared me for tough interviews. That support made my shift into a developer role possible.

Abhishek Bannerjee

2 yrs exp. | Software Developer , Deloitte India

While working in Tech Support at Asian Paints, moving into software development felt intimidating. I didn’t come from a strong coding background and had no idea where to start. Meritshot simplified concepts, gave me challenging projects, and kept pushing me when I doubted myself. Slowly, my confidence grew — and so did my opportunities.

Varsha Choudhary

3 yrs exp. | Software Developer , KPMG

I began my career as a Mechanical Engineer at Godrej and never imagined I’d end up in software development. I was curious about coding but scared to start over. Meritshot helped me connect my existing problem-solving skills with software, through real projects and mentor-led guidance. It no longer felt like starting from scratch.
