How One Young Man Turned His Life Around After Prizm Institute’s Training
A Bright Start That Took a Wrong Turn
Arbaz Shaikh (name changed for privacy) was once a bright and promising student. Until class eight, he scored well, behaved well, and made his parents proud.
But things changed when he fell into the wrong group of friends—boys who were mischievous, careless, and uninterested in studies. Slowly, Arbaz began copying their habits. His grades dropped so sharply that he failed his 9th standard. Even worse, those same friends abandoned him afterward.
“Sometimes the smallest shift in direction can change the entire journey of your life.”
His parents didn’t know the real reason behind his failure. Without understanding the root cause, they struggled to guide him back to his earlier disciplined lifestyle.
When Bad Company Becomes a Barrier
Arbaz failed again the following year because neither he nor his friends felt any real remorse. According to school rules, failing twice meant he could no longer continue there. He was issued a leaving certificate and asked to study from home or find another school.
This is when reality hit him—something was definitely wrong. He wanted to study, but he didn’t understand that his environment was the real obstacle.
He tried passing the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exam multiple times, but his concentration was gone. Most of his days were spent outdoors—playing cricket, roaming with friends, pulling pranks, writing shayari, and coming home late. He slept late, woke up late, and ignored his family completely.
His parents gave him countless lectures about education, values, and the future. He agreed with them deep inside… but didn’t know how to break free from his habits.
This is how a sincere student slowly transformed into someone he didn’t recognize.
A New Direction: Getting Introduced to Prizm Institute
Seeing their son struggle, Arbaz’s parents decided he needed something different—a skill-based course that could spark interest and keep him busy in a positive way.
They visited multiple training institutes and eventually chose Prizm Institute for its structure, reputation, and supportive environment. After learning about the mobile phone repairing course, they brought Arbaz along the next day to see if he would be interested.
To everyone’s surprise, he loved it immediately. The course seemed practical, hands-on, and perfect for someone like him. He promised his parents he would take it seriously and not waste this opportunity.
Guidance, Counseling, and the Right Company
Prizm Institute has always paid special attention to students who need extra guidance. Young people often fall into trouble simply because they lack the right support system.
After listening to Arbaz and his parents, the team understood that he was social and friendly—but stuck in a harmful circle. What he really needed was good company, structure, and encouragement.
They explained the root cause of his struggles and guided him toward healthier choices. Arbaz took the advice to heart. He distanced himself from negative influences and began transforming almost overnight.
People in his neighborhood were genuinely surprised by the sudden positive change.
“Change happens the moment you decide your future matters more than your past.”

Career Growth: From Technician to National Trainer

Today, he works as a Senior Pan-India Trainer at Vivo, traveling across the country to train engineers in mobile phone and tablet repair technologies.
He visits Prizm Institute now and then, always expressing gratitude for the turning point the institute provided. However, the team at Prizm believes the credit belongs to Arbaz alone—his discipline, sincerity, and hard work were the true drivers of his success.
