The class 9 dropout is driven by one vision, I want to make affordable computers.
Its not a real computer.
What you see is the first step towards achieving my dream, he adds.

With enough practice and a good DIY guide, anyone can assemble a computer from new parts.
But Parab has fashioned it from parts salvaged from e-waste, and cut the acrylic body himself.
The teenager says the e-waste he gets is usually as bad as it could get.

But I give a shot to modify it, by adding new parts and wires.
So, it becomes as good as new.
Parab knows which scrap is important because his father was a scrap dealer once.
Now his father specialises in sourcing old and unusable computers and other hardware from offices, hospitals and schools.
This gives Parab readymade scrap for his pet hobby, building computers.
His father did not like the fact that Parab decided to quit school.
He had no interest in studies and that pained me, he says.
But he was impressed with his sons vision.
I want to ultimately revolutionise the e-waste industry, says Jayant.
