IIIT Hyderabad Session on Life Values
A guest session for IIIT Hyderabad’s weekly Life Values class, introduced by Dean Prof. Radhika Mamidi. I shared three stories from my own college years: skipping IIIT Hyderabad because I judged it by its cover, being taken off the stage and bullied for four years before becoming a dance instructor with an 11K-subscriber YouTube channel (when life gives you lemons, make lemonade), and a health setback that taught me to share with the people close to me before it’s too late. The second half was hands-on: how we once used our brains and now use AI tokens, and how to keep the brain working in the AI era.
Ask questions in class. One question builds five skills — listening, critical thinking, attention span, communication and a good personal brand — plus a bonus: knowing how to ask AI the right questions.
Anurag University, Hyderabad
A panel seat at AI SAMVAD, the panel discussion of AI AIKYAM 2026 — the two-day AI fest by the Department of Artificial Intelligence at Anurag University. We debated what is still worth learning in the age of AI, then sat down with student teams to evaluate their projects and talk through how to take each prototype further.
AI can write the code. Finding the problem worth solving is still your job.
