Niksha Mahajan, Vishakha Bharambe, Prerna Kharate, we are from Electronics and Communication branch pursuing B.Tech from Usha Mittal Institute of Technology, SNDTWU. We discovered a shared interest in the intriguing world of artificial intelligence.
Our journey took a significant turn when our mentor, Mr. Vishram Bapat, introduced us to a groundbreaking project – “AI-enabled Manned-Unmanned Teaming with Drone.” The very idea fascinated us, and without hesitation, we decided to dive headfirst into this exciting venture.
Our collective efforts gave birth to a project we proudly named “Dronika.” It was more than just a project; it became a symbol of our collaboration and determination.
The turning point in our journey came when we decided to showcase Dronika at the “Ideathon” competition hosted by WISE SNDTWU incubation center. The competition brought together innovative minds, and the energy in the air was electrifying. To our surprise and delight, we emerged victorious, earning us the chance to become pre-incubees at WISE.
WISE became our second home, providing us with not just a physical space but a supportive and productive environment that fueled our creativity. The incubation center played a crucial role in shaping our project, offering us mentorship and resources that were instrumental in Dronika’s development.
Seminars and workshops organized by WISE, such as the enlightening “Idea Validation” sessions, were invaluable to us. They equipped us with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complex world of entrepreneurship. WISE was not just an incubation center; it was a nurturing ecosystem that fostered our growth.
The encouragement didn’t stop there. WISE motivated us to explore more opportunities by participating in different startup competitions. Each competition was a chance for us to refine our pitch, expand our network, and showcase the potential of Dronika.
As we reflect on our journey, we realize the profound impact WISE has had on our growth as individuals and as a team. From being classmates interested in AI to becoming pre-incubees with a revolutionary project, our story is a testament to the power of collaboration, mentorship, and the supportive environment provided by institutions like WISE.
The journey continues, fueled by the lessons learned and the unwavering support of those who believe in the potential of Dronika and our dreams.
