At present, I’m doing research on short text analysis/classification; deep learning and real time systems. I’ve got a national award from DRDO for my internship where I made a search engine for them. I got placed at Ericsson and even started a venture with IBM's CTO and Redhat's Head Dev. I’ve also worked on a small optimisation project with IBM ASIA's distinguished engineers. I was the Vice president of the Artificial Intelligence club, ASET and also worked as a Co-ordinator during Confluence, IT Summit, Amity University.
During my third year, in BTech CSE, our HOD sir, informed us that a company called ACM is interested to start a student chapter in our college. He forewarned us that managing a student chapter would be a tough job and would require a lot of dedication and hard work. (Given that we had no student chapter before this, solely managed about by CS department.) We agreed to it and we have done anything and everything in our power to make it the best student chapter.
Our first challenge was to convince our fellow students to join ACM. At that time a person had to pay registration fees of RS.1000 to join ACM, which made us, all the more apprehensive about the issue of getting more participants. But we knew a good ACM's student chapter will help the members a lot in many ways. So we decided to involve at least 100 members. We tried to convince the students through interacting with them. I was to give a speech in front of huge crowd of students for the same. . I decided to speak my heart out and noticed the crowd was with me, actually agreeing and connecting to what I was saying. The feeling was overwhelming and by then all the other founder members to decided to join me in the speech.
After the two speeches we asked for people who were interested and started collecting money. By the end of first day of collecting money, we had more members than the most established student chapters like IET.
So we decided to leave a legacy in form of an established student chapter (at least that's how we like to think of it! :P)
Most of our time with this chapter was consumed in establishing it. Creating a politics free chapter where anyone could do anything without going through hierarchy. But our juniors have inherited an established student chapter in terms of members who are aware of it and who are willing to work for it. I expect this chapter to become the best chapter worldwide.
