Mr Farukh Ahmed is a Baker by profession. He represented the country in WorldSkills Kazan 2019 and won the medallion of excellence.

Farukh AhmedThe inspiring journey of Farukh Ahmed

“The story of Tripura’s Skill Hero is one of the most inspirational stories. It is the best example of how skills can change someone’s life completely.  Getting fascinated by bakery products at a young age, he joined Lavonne Academy of Baking and Pastry Arts in Bangalore after running away from home at the age of 14. When he started working he was a regular office boy. He used to clean utensils and had no idea about baking. After a few days, the bakery people started giving him additional tasks like preheating the oven and setting the flour for the bakery products. That’s when he got curious which made him learn the baking skills on the job. After one or two years his superior realized that he had a lot of potential. Farukh was enthusiastic and wanted to learn more. His skills actually transformed his life completely. As an 8th grade dropout he had to face difficulties initially. He had to learn English as in bakery it is very important to know the raw materials, terminologies, and ingredients in detail. He learned everything with so much passion that everything started falling in place for him.

He won the IndiaSkills and got the opportunity to represent India in WorldSkills Kazan 2019. He finished at 5th position in the competition and surprised everyone with his exceptionally well performance. Farukh proved that skill can transform people’s lives by winning the medallion of excellence in the skill competition. By making skills aspirational, people’s lives can be changed. Farukh proved that people who are coming from humble backgrounds can also excel if they have the determination and the right skills.”
