A soft launch of a series of invited talks for promoting the culture entrepreneurship in Vidya was organised on 18 February 2020 at the Advanced Computer Lab of the College. The inaugural talk was on Cloud Computing and Operations by Mr Rajeev P V, Chief Technical Officer of Rybbon Inc, USA. This was followed by two technical sessions handled by experts from Rybbon Inc: one was a talk on the software development model adopted at Rybbon Inc by Mr Navaneeth Mohan and the second one was a narration on the AI/ML case study on follow-up of customer interactions by Mr Bakir Bashir. The audience comprised of sixty-six students (five high-performing students from every class) drawn from all UG batches of CSE and ECE branches (excluding first year students) and PG students of CSE Dept.
