Nishit Bhasin, a graduate of the 2018\u20132022 B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering batch, specialising in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, has been featured in the prestigious <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forbes 30 Under 30 North America<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> list for his groundbreaking work in digital accessibility through his startup, IncSkill.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reflecting on his academic journey, Nishit describes his time at SRMUH as \u201cchaotic, fun, and unexpectedly foundational.\u201d He was among the first batches to enrol in the IBM-collaborated AI and Data Science specialisation, a programme that was ahead of its time. \u201cWe were introduced to cutting-edge technologies when they were still emerging in the broader tech space,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hands-On_Experience_Beyond_the_Classroom\"><\/span><b>Hands-On Experience Beyond the Classroom<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the most memorable experiences of his time at SRMUH was organising <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prisma Fest<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the university\u2019s flagship cultural event. \u201cIt was in its early years back then, so it was all hands on deck. I worked on everything, from logistics to photography, running across campus and local areas to make sure things were in place. That experience taught me more about accountability and execution than many formal courses could.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside academic learning, these extracurricular initiatives played a significant role in shaping Nishit&#8217;s approach to problem-solving and leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Faculty_Mentorship_That_Made_a_Lasting_Impact\"><\/span><b>Faculty Mentorship That Made a Lasting Impact<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nishit attributes a large part of his academic and professional growth to the mentorship he received from the SRMUH faculty. Professors Sandhya Tarwani, Puneet Goswami, Lakshita Agarwal, and Manoj Sir were instrumental in providing both academic support and personal guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He recalls working on a blockchain research paper under the mentorship of Professors Lakshita Agarwal and Puneet Goswami. \u201cWe were clueless in the beginning, but they guided us patiently. That project taught me how to take a raw idea, develop it, and see it through\u2014a process that\u2019s remarkably similar to building a startup.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manoj Madhwan Kutti Sir, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Director of IR and Administration, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in particular, played a crucial role in encouraging Nishit to pursue postgraduate studies and explore interdisciplinary learning paths.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_SRMUH_Helped_Shape_an_Entrepreneurial_Mindset\"><\/span><b>How SRMUH Helped Shape an Entrepreneurial Mindset<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What stood out to Nishit was the university\u2019s forward-thinking curriculum. \u201cAt many universities, students study traditional computer science and then self-learn AI later. SRMUH gave us that head start by embedding AI and Data Science into our core programme right from the beginning.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nishit believes this early exposure enabled him to think beyond programming and start considering real-world systems, scalability, and impact. \u201cThe freedom SRMUH offered to experiment with ideas, build projects, and learn from trial and error gave me the confidence to think like a builder.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Laying_the_Groundwork_for_IncSkill\"><\/span><b>Laying the Groundwork for IncSkill<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Nishit leads IncSkill, a startup using artificial intelligence to improve digital accessibility for people with disabilities. He credits SRMUH with giving him two things that proved invaluable: early technical expertise and a proactive mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThanks to the IBM-certified courses and specialisation track, I had already completed multiple AI projects before pursuing my master\u2019s degree. That head start helped immensely when we began building IncSkill. More importantly, SRMUH taught me how to take initiative. Whether it was organising a fest or building side projects, there was a strong culture of self-starting and learning on the go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Courses_and_Projects_That_Made_a_Difference\"><\/span><b>Courses and Projects That Made a Difference<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The IBM-led machine learning and AI courses at SRMUH stood out as particularly influential. They combined theoretical knowledge with real-world problem solving. \u201cThese weren\u2019t just academic exercises, they challenged us to build practical applications. The blockchain research project, for instance, gave me my first deep-tech experience and taught me the value of iteration and critical thinking, skills I now use daily.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advice_to_Future_SRMUH_Innovators\"><\/span><b>Advice to Future SRMUH Innovators<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To current students, Nishit offers practical and forward-looking advice: \u201cDon\u2019t limit yourself to becoming a software engineer. Be a builder. With tools like generative AI, no-code platforms, and automation agents, technical skills are only part of the equation. What sets you apart is your ability to understand users, validate ideas, and solve real problems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He emphasises the importance of maintaining curiosity and focusing on substance over status. \u201cDon\u2019t chase job titles or big company names for the sake of it. Instead, ask yourself: What problem am I solving? That mindset is what leads to long-term growth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Global_Recognition_Backed_by_Strong_Foundations\"><\/span><b>Global Recognition Backed by Strong Foundations<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nishit\u2019s journey from SRMUH to Forbes recognition is a symbol of what a forward-thinking academic environment can achieve.
