At 21, the Mumbaikar was selected to study computer engineering at the prestigious Cornell University in the United States. Years later, he joined Oracle as a software engineer in California.
Netravalkar's accomplishments do not end here. He is an international cricketer who won a crucial T20 World Cup game in the Super Over against Pakistan, plays the ukulele like a pro, and is an accomplished singer with a mellifluous, honey-dipped voice. If he sets his mind to it, he could ace the Scripps National Spelling Bee competition as well.
Indeed, Netravalkar is the guy every girl would like to introduce to her parents. The Cornell-educatedturned-software engineer-turnedinternational cricketer is part of the growing tribe of Indian immigrants who have made the US their home through talent, grit, and hard work.
Netravalkar is among the scores of Indians settled in the US on an H-1B visa. The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that typically allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
They are essentially America's whitecollar coolies.
