Shashwat Sharma, B. Tech. (Information Technology), 2021–2025 Company Placed: Alyssum Global Services
My four years at Amity University Uttar Pradesh have shaped me in ways I could not have anticipated when I first walked in. The Department of Information Technology was home through these years, giving me a strong academic foundation and a community of faculty and peers I learned alongside every day. Beyond the classroom, Amity's wider ecosystem of centres and cells, including the Amity Innovation and Design Centre, the Amity Centre for Artificial Intelligence, and the Entrepreneurship Cell, gave me spaces to build, experiment, and take ideas further. What stood out most was how seamlessly industry and academia came together on campus, whether it was receiving the India AI Research Fellowship from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, having my startup selected for the Software Technology Parks of India's FASAL 2.0 incubation and grant program, or reaching the national finals of multiple hackathons alongside fellow Amitians. My internship at Alyssum Global Services, which eventually became my full-time placement, was a natural extension of this journey. I am deeply grateful to my faculties, HOD, and the entire Amity University community for their belief in my potential. These years have prepared me for a fulfilling career in the tech industry.
