Sunita Yadav
She fixed her first phone at age 15. Now she wants a certificate — and a shop.
Her story
Sunita grew up in a chawl in Hadapsar, Pune. Her father ran a small mobile repair stall until ill health forced him to close it. At fifteen, Sunita started helping him — cleaning boards, replacing screens, diagnosing faults. By seventeen she was handling the stall alone. When the stall closed, she took a job in a garment factory. But her hands never forgot the circuits.
For eight years she worked stitching lines in a factory, saving money, fixing friends' phones on the side for free. Her neighbours started calling her 'mobile doctor'. She never charged them — she had no certificate, no official training, no way to justify a price. That changes with this course.
The Skillinabox Electronics Repair certification will let her open a legitimate repair shop. She has already scouted a 6×6 foot space in Hadapsar market that rents for ₹2,500 a month. With a certificate and a shop sign, she estimates ₹12,000–15,000 monthly income within her first year. Five days remain. She is 80% funded. Push her over the line.
