Education:-



Shubhra studied for the most of her time in Jharkhand. She attended DAV (Ranchi Zone) for her education. She attributes all of her success to her well-mannered upbringing, her education, and her high academic record since these elements not only gave her a competitive edge but also helped to build a solid foundation.

A software engineer who attended Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee in the 2002 batch left her well-paying IT job after four years because she felt compelled to help the rural population, who lack access to even the most basic amenities like drinking water and education.

Saxena attended IIT Roorkee, started working in the IT industry, and traveled to Singapore, the UK, and the US. Husband Shashank Gupta claimed that she wasn't content. She therefore left in 2006 to get ready for the civil services exams and moved in with her mother to live in Rajendra Nagar. Her spouse was employed in Noida. For this IAS topper, the promise of a well-paying, cushy job was insufficient. She also had a job with the Noida-based Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). After taking a chance, she succeeded three years later. Her second and final try was this one.
