DAMP Coordinators 2023-24

I'm from Mumbai and love exploring new places, food, ideas, the whole deal. Though Deep Learning is what I'm working on at the moment, all things research interest me. I'm enthusiastic about big questions and answers to those so hit me up anytime (mostly :) if you wanna discuss something fun!

Hey there, I'm Gehna, hailing from Jaipur! When it comes to making a splash, swimming is my ultimate go-to, keeping me afloat with waves of excitement. But let me tell you, nothing beats the thrill of diving into fascinating conversations and connecting with amazing folks like you. If you're up for a stroll, count me in! I'm always game for some ‘sole’-searching adventures. Oh, and books? They're my latest page-turning obsession. As an internship coordinator, I get to sprinkle some professional magic. And when it's time to unwind, I'm all ears for music's sweet symphony!

I am currently an Editor at Insight and was a Business Team Member of the DAV team in my second year. I love reading, watching films and playing the piano. I also play football and badminton whenever I get a chance. I'm interested in the non-core sector but am open to exploring other fields as well!

When I'm not grooving to music, I'm shooting hoops on the basketball court, or pumping iron at the gym. But my true calling lies in exploring the world, seeking thrills and unraveling its secrets. Oh, and did I mention my knack for data analytics? I like turning data into mind-blowing insights for better decision making. Hit me up on WhatsApp/Instagram or even better, give me a call!

Hey there! I'm from Bombay and a big travel enthusiast. I love exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. As a devoted Barcelona fan, I'm passionate about football and closely follow the latest updates. I'm also intrigued by the exciting advancements in machine learning. If you're ever up for a chat, gossip, or discussing movies and TV shows, feel free to reach out!

Namaste! I am Harshil (& I don’t have a specific nickname…lol). I like public speaking, writing shayaris, singing, playing chess & enjoying stand-up comedy. I’ve been trained for 6 years in Indian Classical Music & recently, I’ve started my YouTube Channel. Professionally speaking, I’m extremely attracted by startups & entrepreneurship, with the dream of having a significant contribution in this field. I love listening to & discussing topics like Mythology, Literature, Technology & India’s Great Future

My inability to pick a flavour of ice cream or a topic to research on is because of how much I love both. It's definitely not a sign of my indecisiveness. Research is my chosen way to kill time (read professional interest) and I could talk forever about how cool materials science is. And if I’m not geeking out in the lab, I’m debating every chance I get.

Hey there! I'm your friendly neighborhood aerial robotics enthusiast, working with Prof. Vivek Sangwan. When I'm not soaring through the sky, you'll find me diving into swimming pools winning a few medals. I'm a total petrol head, addicted to the adrenaline rush of Formula 1 and the engineering behind it. Want to chat about anything and everything? Count me in! Just a heads-up though, I'm an overthinker by birth, so get ready for some deep thoughts. Oh, and did I mention I'm a proud Tamilian, blending South-Indian origins with a North-Indian lifestyle?

From Mumbai, I am renowned for my shenanigans and also as the guy you can have deep talks with. Well, yeah, I have a dual personality. Crazy about Formula 1, but currently making do with go-karting. I also have a weird obsession with Swiss watches and Italian cars. Always count me in for any plans!

Hey, I'm a third-year Dual Degree student with a passion for coding. As the Marketing Manager at Radiance, IIT Bombay, and former Mess Secretary for H15, I've honed my leadership and organizational skills. When I'm not immersed in lines of code, you'll find me engrossed in novels or lost in the rhythm of songs.

Hey! I'm Disha. I'm pursuing Btech in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in CS. I love solving problems (except my own) and taking on challenges. I've lived all my life in Bangalore and Mumbai and I love travelling (even though I don't too much). I write and occasionally perform poetry, paint and dance and I'm always down to share stories over coffee in CCD.

As a passionate individual deeply intrigued by the world of robotics and AI, I find immense joy in exploring their endless possibilities. Anime serves as a delightful escape and occasional hobby for me. I embrace a logical and methodical approach when confronted with challenges, always striving to find straightforward solutions. Though my creativity leans towards the moderate side, I use it effectively to devise innovative problem-solving strategies. While I do enjoy my fair share of sleep, I take pride in being a soft-hearted and easily approachable person. I am driven by my unwavering commitment to making meaningful contributions to the realms of robotics and AI.

An irregular trekking enthusiast from Pune. I don't lose bets/debates, and I win every papad-eating competition. I'm that confident singer who gets all the lyrics wrong. Had planned to play the Guitar in school so that I could call myself a guitarist now. Youtube >>books. If you like J Cole too, say hi :)


From Mumbai. I'm enthralled by the world of AI and eagerly anticipate building exciting applications with it. I enjoy dancing and learning new dance styles.

Dear Reader, I presume you've already seen my name. I am currently the Head of Mobility in the Mars Rover Team.

Hi there! I'm passionate about music, spending hours lost in captivating melodies. Besides that, I'm an avid player of basketball and volleyball, enjoying the thrill of these sports.

Hey, I'm Arushi Srivastava. I was a Literati convenor in my 2nd year and am currently the ELP Cabinet Head. As you might have guessed, my hobbies include reading and writing. I also like watching those videos that analyse movies. Ironically, I still can't find words to finish this introduction properly.

Fifthie (never felt this old), I'm a die-hard sports fan and you would typically either find me defending my fav football team Spurs (yes, please don't judge) despite their shambolic performances, or rubbing Verstappen's wins into other people's noses. Also love travelling, which is the usually the story of every kid who's father is in the Army/Navy, making me no different. Always up for a conversation, so feel free to reach out :)

I am a part of the tech team AUV-IITB in the mechanical subdivision, am pursuing CS and DS minors and have been a TA for CS101 and MA108. I like to think that I’m equal parts silly and fun and give off wise old man vibes. My interests keep varying from time to time, contact me to find out more :)

I'm an average Delhi kid, brimming with extroversion, fueled by a passion for music and food.

Always up for a dive into an engaging conversation over a glass of Aamras !

I love binging shows and deep conversations, feel free to hit me up for random discussions about anything :)

I am from Chennai, and have a wide range of languages in my arsenal. I have a deep appreciation for various sports. Exploring different cultures through travel is a personal delight, and I find solace in the kitchen, experimenting with new food ideas. I have completed one research intern in Hokkaido University and a semester exchange at KAIST University, South Korea and looking to see where the world takes me next. My research expertise lies in controls, specifically in the realm of robotics.
