About Us
Hey there! We’re the team behind the Mechanical Department Academic Mentorship Program. It is headed by two Coordinators, Parul and Taniishq and a group of 40+ amazing mentors. Here’s a little bit about us and what we do. We, as mentors, are here to provide you with any assistance you might need. Though the title of ‘DAMP’ explicitly states academic mentorship, we’re much more than that. Check out the testimonials page to read stories about the amazing interactions students have had with their mentors, and the close bonds they’ve forged. Bonds that have lasted far longer than just one mentorship tenure. Besides making sure that we’re there for you, we also strive to make the experience of the students within the department richer in every way. For this purpose, we try to bridge the gap in communication between the student body and the faculty, which is crucial to ensure stability in the long term. We also conduct help sessions before the midterms and the end-terms, information sessions on various initiatives and develop and maintain this blog, which contains detailed course reviews, roadmaps which you could follow in order to gain proficiency in certain topics and experiences people have had with projects and internships. We’re a not-so-small group of people trying to do our part in making this department the best it could be, so that everyone who carries the tag of ‘Mechanical’ has an opportunity to be the best that they can be!DAMP Coordinators 2025-26
Hey! I'm Parul, one of the Mech DAMPCs. I'm from Bangalore, and I miss Idli and my family (English Vinglish reference). Some of my hobbies include trekking, playing football, and watching sitcoms. I also love to follow chess and cricket. I live for chai, for the mountains, for 3am laughters, and for funnily shaped clouds!
Taniishq this side, your friendly neighbourhood Mech DAMPC :) I’m a boy from Mumbai who eats three fruits every day and likes to chat with new people. I enjoy swimming, following sports, playing the Tabla, and listening to good music. Feel free to join me while I have long chats with people in the hostel mess or take strolls in the campus at random hours of the day!

Hi, I’m Aagam from Nashik. Always up for good conversations, a bit of football, and the occasional questionable life choice. :)
A proud mumbaikar, foodie, yapper, who's always up for any adventures :)
I am Adarsh from the city of Bhopal - the city of lakes, hence you'll often find me wandering near Powai lake. I am the person who wants to do everything but ends up doing nothing :( HMU for cycling, trekking or any outing plans
Hello there! I’m Adwait. Travelling, reading, and binging The Office with a sip of coffee are a few ingredients that make my day better. Oh, and before you leave, “May the force be with you, my friend…”
I love playing tennis, so if you ever need a hitting partner, just ring me up! I also enjoy playing chess and meeting new people.
Hi there, Anirudh here. I’m happiest with a cricket bat in hand or music to dance to. I try to stay fit, never say no to good food, and enjoy the occasional escape into shows or anime.
A Bangalorean powered entirely by black coffee (milk and sugar are a crime). If I’m not dancing like nobody’s watching, you’ll probably find me painting or hunting down my next sushi fix. My life runs on Spotify playlists, with the occasional pause to binge my latest series obsession.
Eat-sleep-repeat
[A short and fun caption about me]
I’m Ayush Prasad, a full-time tinkerer and sworn enemy of faulty gear teeth. When I’m not designing robots or running tech events, you’ll probably find me lost in PC games or binging horror movies… and yes, I’m usually still thinking about how to improve a servo controller during the jump scares
Hi! I’m Bhagyashree, a 5th-year DD student surviving on caffeine. I love listening to people and I sometimes play an ukulele. If you need someone to talk to, rant to or just awkwardly sit in silence with, hit me up anytime, I’ll magically appear :)
