Here is an interesting story about a guy I would like to share.

This was during the COVID period when we all were on a lockdown.

Since nobody could come to the office, we decided to do some activities that could help build the community.

With some projects and a clear intention for the community, we came up with the concept of null 2.0 in 2020.

One project idea we got was from a friend named Ajit Hatti. He suggested we write a paper on cryptographic vulnerability exploited in 2019.

We asked for volunteers and got some people to volunteer on this cryptographic vulnerability project.

Sumanth Thyagarajan from TCS opted to work on this project along with many other volunteers.

He joined this project because he was really excited by the idea and found this project interesting. He contributed to this project as an author.

Once he finished phase 1 of this project, he mentioned it in his profile while applying for MS in the USA.

This project got him the admission he was looking for in the USA. This project was a key advantage for him as he contributed to the community.

This is how being part of a #community can change someone's life trajectory.

Therefore, I believe being part of a community is essential💡
