In 2009, when Binita Shrestha started her physics and computer science classes in high school, she was surprised to find herself to be the only girl in her class. But she didn’t make much of the situation and did not think that not having a female friend in the classroom would affect her much.

“But I lost my confidence and I would hardly interact in the classroom,” says Shrestha. Because of a lack of female companions, she felt that she couldn't find a confidant, making her feel intimidated to put her views in the classroom, she says.

“I used to question and self-doubt myself, whether I made the right decision of studying computer science,” she says.

However, regardless of her struggle, she decided to pursue Information Technology in her Bachelor’s degree, where she met Pratiksha Pandey, a fellow student of her college, who was studying Electronic and Communication Engineering.
