Michael Peres is joined by Punit Jajodia, tech entrepreneur, educator, and one of Nepal’s 40 Under 40 most influential young leaders. Punit is the co-founder and CEO of Programiz, a platform transforming how beginners learn programming through interactive courses and gamified experiences. Over the past decade, he has grown Programiz from a simple blog into a global education product that helps millions of learners get started with code.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• What Punit was really like in high school and why most people are surprised by his introverted past
• How a shy kid with a small friend group gradually became comfortable taking risks and stepping into public roles
• The simple “speak only English” agreement with a college friend that transformed his confidence and communication skills
• Why he believes personality is not fixed and how you can intentionally grow beyond who you were growing up
• How Programiz evolved from a personal project into a full educational platform for beginner programmers
• Lessons from scaling a remote tech company, building healthy culture, and turning technical strengths into real businesses
