Hyderabad Software Engineer Dies in Skydiving Accident in the US

A tragic skydiving accident in the United States claimed the life of Gaddam Mani Chandra Teja (28), a software engineer from Hyderabad. The incident occurred in Massachusetts, where Teja was descending with his parachute after completing a skydive. According to reports, strong winds suddenly disrupted the parachute's stability during landing, causing him to fall from a height of nearly 30 feet. He was rushed to a nearby hospital with critical injuries but succumbed while undergoing treatment.

Originally from a family with roots in Vijayawada that later settled in Hyderabad, Teja completed his education at the ICFAI Foundation before moving to the United States in 2022 to pursue his master's degree. He had been working as a software developer in Boston for the past two years. His untimely death has left his family, friends and colleagues in deep shock.
