I am Rohit Nittala, Born in the U.S. and have been living in India since the age of 5. I had my formal education in Maharishi Vidya Mandir based in Hyderabad, Telangana, and have completed my high school in Sri Chaitanya Junior College. I have completed my Bachelor in Computer Science and Engineering at the esteemed University College of Engineering, Osmania University, Hyderabad, Telangana. I am a very big sports enthusiast and irrespective of the sport I try to indulge myself in it and participate. Have played Cricket at a district level and also have played volleyball at a district level. I usually play football and basketball whenever I get a chance. Being bought up with a big family is always a big perk as diversity and adjusting to conditions are built. Have always got the best care from my parents and family and I always try to show that kindness to the people around me. I like to be surrounded by my friends all the time and i often tend to make friends very easily.

Since early age, I've been really passionate about the mechanics of how everything works. I would be really intrigued by simple things and how their functioning takes place. This got me hooked on every little thing from how the human body works to how a simple motor works. This led me to the stream of science and where I pursued an Engineering course. But there is one thing that I am really passionate about that is filmmaking. I always aspired to be a good filmmaker that is known for his versatility in writing. Great directors like Christopher Nolan(Oppenheimer), S.S Rajamouli(RRR) have been in my inspired me to take up this herculean task. This is also associated with my passion for the Mechanics of a particular unit. How a film is made and the complexities involved and my love for story telling had propelled me into this particular domain. I always aspire to be a filmmaker and if not something associated with Cinema.

The main reason I had Taken up the Humongous task of organizing a TEDx event is that there are a plethora of domains that we as the future citizens of the country have little to no idea about. The knowledge that we acquire from our education system is skewed to a very particular aspect of life which can help us for about 30% of our lives. I as a 21-year-old recently learned that there is a lot more to life and we have been not shown the other options at all. Simple topics like Financial Literacy, Mental health, and others are really new to the students I have seen around me. I wanted to change that perspective. The reason we as a team went with the topic of Through the Storm as the main theme of our TEDx event was to ignite hope for people that are blinded by the native methods of way of life. In a time where we can almost get education from online courses and online platforms like youtube, there is a real need for topics like these which need to be explored as well especially in this particular age as this period of life is actually when we go into the society with a degree in hand and these topics which we talked about earlier come handy for us to be ready for facing life unfiltered. I would like to show that idea about the early development of an adolescent or a teenager in every aspect of life is an idea worth spreading.

Computer Science, Management, Public speaking, Writing

There are some skills that I tend to have that I don't often show to people unless they are really close to me. I am actually a pretty good dancer, I have a knack for writing stories and screenplays, I tend to be really good at sports, and have a good touch of public speaking. These are some things that people may or may not know I am good at.
