Feelings about Code4Bill:
 
Code4Bill has really been an invaluable experience.

IDC seems like a dream place for anyone to work.
It provides just the right environment where you get a chance to not only work with the best in the country but also has all the means to relax and have fun.
All in all, it’s been a very nice stay at IDC and I’ve done lots of work and had lots of fun too.
