As Vice Chair of the IEEE ATMECE Student Branch, I lead strategic programs that turn curiosity into applied capability for a 500+ member technical community—bridging academic learning with real-world execution.
Core Responsibility Pillars
Technical Workshop Leadership
As a leader in technical education, I’ve organized 15+ comprehensive workshops covering cutting-edge topics including AI/ML, blockchain, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies. These workshops go beyond theoretical knowledge, providing hands-on experience and practical skills that students can immediately apply in their academic and professional endeavors.
Event Coordination Excellence
I have successfully managed inter-college technical symposiums with participation from 5+ colleges across Karnataka. From conceptualization to execution, I’ve led the planning and coordination of large-scale technical events that bring together the brightest minds from multiple institutions, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing across the region.
Student Mentoring & Development
Through dedicated mentoring, I’ve guided 50+ junior students in research project development, career planning, and technical skill enhancement. I believe in paying it forward — helping junior students navigate their academic journey and discover their passions in technology while building their confidence and capabilities.
Industry Partnership Building
I actively work on establishing strategic industry connections to create real career opportunities for our student community. Through these partnerships with tech companies, we’ve successfully created direct placement and internship opportunities, bridging the gap between academic learning and professional development.

This growth was supported by establishing 5 new corporate partnerships that created direct placement and internship opportunities for our students. Our efforts were recognized at the regional level, with the ATMECE IEEE branch being ranked among the top 3 in Karnataka.
Student Development Metrics
Through our comprehensive programs, we’ve successfully impacted over 500+ students through workshops, seminars, and mentoring programs. Our track record includes 15+ successful events with a 100% success rate, with all events exceeding their participation targets. The quality of our initiatives is reflected in the consistently high 85% positive feedback we receive from participants across all events and workshops.
Leadership & Personal Development
Leadership Development
This role has fundamentally transformed my approach to leadership, teaching me that true leadership isn’t about commanding, but about creating meaningful impact through others. I’ve learned the art of inspiring others to discover their potential and pursue excellence beyond their perceived limitations. My focus has been on creating opportunities for collective growth, ensuring that success benefits the entire community rather than just individual achievements. I’ve dedicated significant effort to building bridges between academia and industry, facilitating connections that provide real value to students and professionals alike. Most importantly, I’ve embraced fostering innovation through collaborative learning, creating environments where creative thinking and problem-solving flourish through teamwork and shared expertise.
Technical Expertise Enhancement
Leading technical workshops has deepened my own understanding of emerging technologies while keeping me at the forefront of industry trends. This teaching experience has reinforced my knowledge while exposing me to diverse perspectives and challenging questions that have expanded my own learning journey.
Network Building
I’ve built a robust professional network that extends beyond college boundaries, creating valuable connections across multiple spheres of influence. This network includes industry professionals and mentors who provide real-world insights and career guidance, peer leaders from other institutions who share best practices and collaborative opportunities, faculty members and academic researchers who offer academic perspectives and research collaboration possibilities, and fellow IEEE members across different branches who contribute to a broader understanding of IEEE’s impact and potential for professional development.
Future Vision & Ongoing Initiatives
Upcoming Projects
Looking ahead, I’m excited to launch several innovative initiatives that will further strengthen the bridge between academia and industry. We are launching 3 joint research projects with partner companies that will provide students with hands-on experience working on real-world challenges while contributing to cutting-edge solutions. Additionally, we’re introducing industry-recognized certification tracks through comprehensive technical certification programs that will enhance students’ employability and professional credibility.
A particularly exciting initiative is our alumni mentorship network that will connect current students with successful alumni in tech, creating a sustainable support system that extends beyond graduation. This program will provide ongoing career guidance, industry insights, and professional networking opportunities that will benefit students throughout their careers.
This leadership role continues to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my academic journey, enabling durable ecosystem impact while refining strategic execution and people development.
