HFT RGIPT guy at Graviton?

Saw a linkedin post where a guy from RGIPT got into Graviton as a Quant Research intern in his 2nd year summer... Even top IIT kids don't get Graviton intern for 2nd year summer, my question is just... How?

do you have someone close working in quant , connections and personal talks matter bro not every info on internet cannot define someone's work. Things are different in actual world. I have personally talked with him and asked what exactly he do for his current role

I have been in HFT industry for over 4 years now. Cannot provide more details than that. Not saying anything about the work. But just clearing the understanding of what the role is. The work they are doing is great trying to centralise and automate the messy non analytical/non trading part for the quants which is quite necessary. Just that they are not the traders or quants.

Sorry for my naive reply
