Vision Diaspora: IIIT/CVIT Meetup 22 Jun 2022
Alumni meet on 23 rd June at CVPR (at the convention center)
We were able to host this year’s Alumni meet for IIT/CVIT students at the CVPR conference held in New Orleans, Louisana. Vision Diaspora is the name for this informal luncheon meeting of approximately 40 people. Siddhant Bansal organized this meeting by sending out an e-invite to all attending the CVPR conference.
They got into a discussion on a wide range of topics from their earlier experiences at IIIT, the subjects they choose, and finally the projects they worked on. It was exciting to hear about the hostel life during their study days and life outside campus. From their experiences, they shared what made them decide between going for a job or for further studies doing Ph.D. in their respective countries. Also shared the negative and positive aspects of the job, manager, and daily routines.
“Overall, this experience helped me feel proud to be part of this institution which has over the years produces such amazing people who are working on leading technologies at some of the best places in the world. I was able to then understand all the crucial decisions which helped them arrive at their success,” explained Siddhant.
