A professional networking platform for marginalized communities from premier institutes. Bridging the gap through mentorship, advocacy, and community support.
Started in 2023, following the unfortunate death of IIT Bombay's Darshan Solanki, this initiative extends mentoring support to IIT students coming from marginalized backgrounds.
