Who Is Muskan Agrawal?

Hailing from Hathras, Uttar Pradesh, Muskan Agrawal is a BTech graduate in Electronics and Communication Engineering from IIIT-Una in Uttar Pradesh. Agrawal created history by securing the highest-ever package of ₹60 LPA obtained by any student from her institute.

Agrawal secured the job of Software Development Engineer (SDE) at LinkedIn with an annual package of ₹60 LPA, where she was already working for 5 months and earlier has also interned for the same role. 

TechGig Geek Goddess 2022

Agrawal triumphed at Geek Goddess, an annual coding tournament held exclusively for women where they're expected to code for four hours at a stretch.

Her Path To Success

Agrawal began honing her skills in 2021 by participating in various open-source projects alongside her studies. She began by joining various internships that also led her to secure LinkedIn's top 40 women mentorship programme.
