A keynote for AI & Machine Learning and M.Sc. Chemistry students at Holy Cross College, Trichy, and the start of an MOU for AI literacy and internships.
Today, 5 August 2026, I walked into Holy Cross College, Trichy for the first time in nearly 25 years, this time as Chief Guest and Keynote Speaker.
I was there to share my own journey with UG AI & Machine Learning students and PG & Research M.Sc. Chemistry students: two very different departments, two very different levels, one session. Complex to design, but genuinely one of the most joyful talks I've given.
Because here's what I got to share: AI, Chemistry, and Startups aren't three separate worlds. They're about to collide, and the students in that room are exactly the ones positioned to be at that intersection.
But honestly, the part that stayed with me most happened after the session.
I met the College Principal, Rev. Dr. Sr. Rajakumari, and the Secretary, who is over 75 years old. And I was floored. The passion the Secretary carries for the students, the energy she brought to that conversation: I've rarely seen that kind of fire in someone decades into their journey. The Principal spoke with the same passion about building an AI Startup Hub for the college and supporting students however she could.
We ended up agreeing to move forward with an MOU between Inteva and Holy Cross College to work together on AI literacy, mentor students on industry expectations, and build real internship and job pathways.
Sharing is my passion. It's my hobby. And honestly, it's the best way I know to create impact for the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
Sharing is caring, but knowledge sharing empowers. Especially when it reaches today's students, who are tomorrow's leaders and founders.
