🚀 InnovateX Connect '26: Done, Dusted, and Definitely Memorable
What started as a developer conference turned into a full day of ideas, engineering, conversations, networking, interviews, swags, and a lot of community energy. 💻✨
With 130 attendees from 31 colleges and universities, three industry-focused speakers, media coverage, sponsors, community partners, and a room full of curious builders, InnovateX Connect '26 brought together students and professionals from across the developer ecosystem.
Speakers:
• Avik Agarwala, AI Engineer, TCS
• Devesh Tulshyan, Full Stack AI and Cloud Engineer
• Sristhi Majumder, Systems Engineer, TCS
From design thinking and innovation to the reality of cybersecurity and building approval engines from scratch, the sessions were packed with practical insights and conversations that went well beyond the slides.
And then came the rest of the chaos we actually love 😭👇
✨ Interactive quiz
✨ Speaker panel and open Q&A
✨ Cross-campus networking
✨ Felicitation and recognition
✨ Wiki Kolkata interviews
✨ All India Media interviews
✨ Swag distribution
✨ Photography, conversations, and way too many LinkedIn posts after the event 😭
A huge thank you to JIS University, our faculty and institutional support teams, speakers, volunteers, partners, sponsors, media representatives, and every attendee who showed up and made the room feel alive.
Special thanks to Ruin Run, Myrad, Miro, Mastra, Elixpo, and TruScholar for supporting the event ecosystem.
People came from different campuses.
Some came for the talks.
Some came for networking.
Some probably came for the swags. 👀
That is what community events are supposed to feel like. ❤️
