Named after Pingala, an ancient Indian mathematician and the creator of the Binary Numeral System, PIC will comprise about 50 young Indian and international researchers combined, interacting with eminent laureates in Computing, to derive inspiration and motivation from role models and peers, and exchanging their research ideas within this elite company. The presence of eminent laureates and participants selected after a highly competitive selection process promises to make it one of the most sought-after and respected networking events for young Computing researchers organized in India.

I especially value the connections and friendships I forged with fellow researchers. The environment of this event was very friendly and welcoming. I got to get advice from my senior peers and it helped me sort through quite a few of the doubts I had in my mind regarding the general research scenario. Thank you!”
“This kind of events should be promoted as much as we could and motivate the researchers to attend it. I would like to add one more thing, as a participant, we observed how much workforce it requires to organise this kind of event. Therefore, we can also volunteer for working together.”
