In August 2021, we lost our student, Kartikeya Gupta (2018153: B.Tech. ECE), after a long battle with cancer. Kartikeya was an academically brilliant student and was actively involved in extracurricular activities. His friends, peers, and seniors fondly remember his caring and helpful nature. He had a dream of starting his own company and was passionately working on the same. He loved IIIT-Delhi's culture and left a top-tier institute to pursue B.Tech. at IIIT-Delhi. His parents (referred to as donors hereafter) would like to support meritorious students via Kartikeya Gupta Memorial Scholarship and live his dream of giving back to his favourite place – IIIT-Delhi.
