Student

I embarked on my student journey at Symbiosis with a strong start in the first year, achieving excellent grades while also relishing the vibrant student life. I captained a victorious 5-a-side football team during the college fest, which was a rewarding experience. However, the emergence of the COVID pandemic brought about significant changes. Uncertainty loomed, and concerns about my academic trajectory surfaced. Despite my initial efforts to adapt by enrolling in online courses and joining the Rotonity Club, the pandemic posed challenges that affected my academic performance in the second year. Know More

Technical Head at Rotonity

I joined the Rotonity Club (Robotics and Automation Club of SIT) in mid-2020 during the peak of the pandemic when the college was operating in online mode. The club faced challenges as it was relatively new and relied heavily on hardware and in-person competitions. Despite these obstacles, the club leaders were dedicated to our growth. They enrolled us in online courses, encouraged us to solve daily Python problems, and even registered us for the esteemed E-yantra robotics national competition organized by IIT Bombay. Know More

AI Researcher

My profound journey in the realm of Artificial Intelligence commenced in mid-2022 when I became part of the Symbiosis Centre of Applied Artificial Intelligence (SCAAI). Under the guidance of Dr. Shruti Patil, the HOD of AIML, I embarked on a path that would challenge and nurture my abilities. This journey, however, was not without its hurdles. Being the sole representative from my final year batch and the lone member from the E&Tc department, I faced the initial challenge of transitioning from the virtual realm back to an offline mode of learning.
