JEE Advanced 2023: Ghaziabad resident Rishi Kalra secures AIR 3, sets sights on cyber security business

Rishi Kalra, a resident of Ghaziabad, faced a crucial dilemma during his 9th-grade years. Torn between three career paths — engineering, medicine, or becoming a chartered accountant – he weighed his options carefully. Today, Rishi stands as a shining example of determination and excellence, having secured the all-India third rank in the highly competitive JEE Advanced examination.

Completing his schooling at Delhi Public School in Ghaziabad, Rishi comes from a family deeply rooted in the medical profession. His father, Rajesh Kalra, works as an anaesthetist, while his mother, Deepa Kalra, serves as a paediatrician, both making significant contributions in Ghaziabad.

After completing his engineering, Rishi envisions launching a cyber security business alongside his brother Rohan, who is currently pursuing his engineering in Computer Science from IIT Roorkee.

To explore his creative side, he joined a dance academy to learn dancing. Reflecting on the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Rishi expressed that it provided him with more study hours and prompted him to focus on physical fitness to compensate for the lack of outdoor activities.
