Ruchika was a student of Std 6 in a government-aided school when SMILE first met her. Keeping in mind her academic progress and interest in studies, SMILE shifted her to a better school, which proved to be an important turning point. She completed her Bachelor of Accounting and Finance from K.P.B Hinduja College and also completed CMA (Cost Management Account).
Currently, Ruchika is working at Infosys as a senior assistant in the accounting department.
