Born in Kumheri village in Bihar, Shubham's mother is a homemaker and his father is a manager at a bank. At Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, his older sister works as a scientist. The path of Shubham Kumar serves as motivation for others who are discouraged by their setbacks. He kept trying till he succeeded, learning from his failures.
Education Background:-
- Shubham Kumar is an IIT Bombay graduate with a BTech in civil engineering. He was trained at the National Academy of Defence Financial Management (NADFM), Pune, for his third attempt at the UPSC exam. For his CSE, Kumar had chosen Anthropology as an optional subject.
- Shubham Kumar was a former researcher employed in the United States. He saw there were many holes in India during his time working as a scholar there, and he decided he wanted to contribute to his country's growth.
