Advisor , Tejas 2020-21

Team Tejas has been the brainchild of Shridama Joshi (MECH 2022) and I was involved in recruitment of the very first team. The pandemic caused near abruption of the working and modelling of the team but we took up every challenge and delivered in those trying times. Fast forward, the team has come a long way. I wish the team all the best for every challenge they face. Excelsior!
