It is important for a club to have clear goals and ideologies right at its inception, in order to set a standard and a goal for the years to come. Student members of the Club, Ms. Meghana Patnala, Mr. Vinay B. V. and Mr. Atharsh. M. S. introduced the prospects and principles of the Club, through a presentation which shed light, among other things, on the reason why the Club has been named Tensor. The audience interacted with Ms. Meghana Patnala, as she questioned them whether they had had any real time experience with applications using Artificial Intelligence.
She then proceeded to introduce the office bearers in each department of the Club. Every Club is organized and headed by a Student Body, and the Tensor Club Student Body comprises Mr. Utkarsh Suneela, Mr. Pavan R and Ms. Deepika A. To inculcate new skills, and organize hands-on workshops and projects, we have the Research and Development sector of the Club, with Mr. Vinay B. V, Ms. Ria Megan Picardo, Ms. Sufia and Ms. Saraswati Aiyar as office bearers. The Technical Sector aims to help members gain technical knowledge by making the most of the utilities available. This team includes Mr. Jeevan Aaron Joseph, Ms. Tanisha Stephen, Mr. Siddharth Srinivasan and Mr. Rishab Rajesh. A very important sector in today’s social media driven world is the Design Media and Marketing sector that is responsible for taking up the member’s ideas and bringing them to life using their professional skills. The projects and activities of the Club are promoted by the exceptional marketing skills of this team. Ms. Shruti Reddy, Mr. Joel Machado, Ms. Srishti Karanth, Mr. Nivin Mathew, Mr. Vikram Aditya and Mr. Hemanth BA are members of this team.
Once the office bearers were introduced, the stage was taken over by Mr. Vinay B. V. who explained about the course and the objectives of the Club.
