MechnoVIT Welcome to Issue of MechnoVIT

It was only a couple of months ago that MechnoVIT 10 appeared, and time flew by so that it was
time for a subsequent edition. We are very pleased to announce that we have trailblazers from
almost every MechnoVIT theme within a short span of time. MechnoVIT created quite a buzz
within the campus and outside. We believe it was read by 1000s of people worldwide.
Complimentary posts were received about its readability and getup of MechoVIT and the contents
featured garnered a lot of interest among alumni. And whilst all this was happening the campus
opened up and enthusiastic students flocked into the Dean’s office wanting to be a part of the next
MechnoVIT founder of Swasthvritta Health Solutions LLP for being recognized by Startup India under the
edition. Could we ask for more? It is this enthusiasm of the students that led us to showcase start-
up ventures in MechnoVIT . We are proud to feature Mr. Chinmay Kapruan (19BME0514), the

aegis of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India. MechnoVIT also features
an overseas alumni Ms. Prerna Chatterjee who graduated from Cornell University, and has
graciously participated in an interactive session which we feature here.
