Presenting my project in reading group gave me lot of confidence & got to know my loopholes. I could crack tensilica interview only because of the confidence which I gained by presenting my work in the reading group. I am highly grateful to Prof. Kumar Appaiah & Sagar Sharma to give me a platform where I can showcase my talent & get instant feedback.

R Sri Prakash | Communication & Signal Processing

It was a great experience participating in SRG storytelling competition. All the participants have given a great presentation. It will help you to explain the research work in a very simple way so that everyone can understand. I suggest everyone should try it out even if it not a competition.
