Devain Pal Bansal, is a Blockchain Technology Researcher working with the core team at the Web 3.0 interoperability startup Socket Tech. He completed his Mechanical Engineering from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala in 2021. He was not interested in Engineering even though he is an excellent programmer. He prepared for UPSC but that was not his calling either. He got introduced to crypto in 2020 and since then he wanted to make a career in that. 

He started taking mentorship from us for how to find opportunities in the Web 3.0 world. We mentored him for writing, personal branding, networking, certificate courses, intellectual stimulation, including his passions of travel and photography in his life, interview strategies, how to secure internships, negotiating salaries and terms with start-ups and so much more. We are really proud of his achievements. Devain is SN Mentoring’s Young Futurist of 2022. Last year we had Zac Sangeeth, the world’s youngest historian as SN Mentoring’s first Young Futurist.
