Delhi electrician's son bags US job with annual package of $100,000

Son of an electrician from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, Mohammad Amir Ali bagged a job at an American firm with an annual package of $100,000, reported the national daily The Times of India.

According to the report by ToI, this is the highest package which has been offered to a diploma holder from Jamia. Second, among seven brothers and sisters, Ali had always been passionate about electric vehicles. Even after scoring good marks in his board examinations, he couldn't get through Jamia's BTech course for three consecutive years. He was selected for a course in architecture in NIT Jharkhand, but he couldn't join due to financial constraints. He took admission in a diploma course in mechanical engineering in Jamia in 2015 and passion for electric vehicles finally found an outlet.

According to the report, Ali has been quoted saying, "Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is a major challenge in India. I developed a theory. If I succeed, the cost of charging vehicles will be almost zero. But initially, my teachers didn't believe me as it was a new area of work." His professor Waqar Alam realised the potential of his project and guided him through it.
