Hello World is an eight-episode slice of life workplace drama about 8 youngsters who join a large IT company, hoping that their struggles are all behind them, only to find that life has a lot more in store than they had imagined.[9][10][11][12]
Plot edit
The show opens with a bunch of college graduates - Siddharth, Varun, Amrutha, Meghana, Suresh, Rahul & Varsha - receiving job offers from a big IT company - PeopleTech. All of them arrive at the campus with dreamy eyes assuming that their future is going to be smooth and sorted. However, their excitement is short-lived when Prarthana, a senior IT employee working at the company, informs them that their jobs will be made permanent only after they all clear some mandatory training and evaluations. During the training period, they develop a beautiful bond among themselves and become friends. The situations these characters face prompt them to face many conflicts both personally and professionally and learn real-life lessons. The season ends on an emotional note by establishing the near-death situation of Raghav, their most admired trainer, and how they complete his unfinished project as a tribute to him.[13]
