Tithi is an artist, designer, and content creator based in Kolkata, India. She has attended professional classes for art and craft, honing her skills in graphic design. Her work has been recognized, & her posters have gained attention on various platforms, even inspiring others to create award-winning pieces. Currently, she is focusing on building a tech community at her college from the scratch & growing other smaller communities. She has served as the design lead for local communities, showcasing her leadership skills and ability to create impactful designs.

She has learnt to communicate effectively, share ideas, collaborate with people, share enthusiasm & experience with others, thus helping herself from being an absolute introvert to someone who is readily available for folks to contact for help & information.

Fun fact- she is also called "The Omnipresent" for being present in almost every tech conference in Kolkata, helping out the organising team in one way or the other.

I represent Google Developer Student Clubs from my college. Google Developer Student Clubs are university based community groups for students around the world & students from all undergraduate or graduate programs with an interest in growing as a developer are welcome. Here, they grow their knowledge in a peer-to-peer learning environment and build solutions for local businesses and their community.

I am the founding lead for the GDSC chapter in my college, having laid the foundation in 2023. I regulate and organize sessions, campaigns for students to take part in. Apart from organizational duties, I do design creatives & coached folks as a mentor.

I brought two major campaigns to the club, which familiarised folks with the usage of the google cloud platform. Over 160 people completed it. Apart from that, I have also tried to offer the folks a chance to further explore other communities, programmes & technologies, helping them get exposure & experience from the same.

Github Field day, I believe, has one of the most curated set of participants from the entire country (& beyond, who knows?) which ensures quality networking with leaders & shapers of the future!

I believe each student leader is unique, & we could have a talk on how the community landscape in different regions work, how the leads manage to run their communities, exchange ideas, get feedback, & gain insights on the same.

If there are speakers, would love to listen to & connect with to them, have healthy conversations, leaving my introvert version aside!

Lastly, enjoy the course of the day!
