This event is designed to foster meaningful interactions among young learners and help them stay informed about the latest developments in global research.

The program is jointly hosted by Swastome and The Vigyan Chronicles, with support from The Anusandhan Stories (an initiative by the alumni network of IIT Bombay dedicated to educating and raising awareness among students worldwide).

As we approach the end of 2025, we reflect with pride on a journey that spans nearly five years. What began as a small bioinformatics club in IIT Bombay founded by Mr. Sanjyot Shenoy and supported by Mr. A***n Gupta Dr. Deeptarup Biswas and Dr. Ankit Halder along with brilliant minds and alumni from diverse institutes has grown into a global, student-led initiative: the BioAnalytics Skill Development Program since 2020.

Over the years, our diverse networking platforms and educational programs have connected us with more than 9,000 students worldwide. Recently, we recognized the need to establish a social media presence, as most of our team members have now moved beyond the IIT Bombay campus and placed in different parts of the world. We remain deeply grateful to all of them. Simultaneously, we are excited to welcome a dynamic new team of young minds who share our vision of advancing education, awareness, and skill development.

We will soon be launching a new range of student-led programs and initiatives. Thank you for being a part of this journey we look forward to continuing our mission together.
