Dhyana Shivakumar
General SecretaryHi everyone! I’m Dhyana Shivakumar and I’m the General Secretary for Cutting Edge 2020. Picturing yourself wielding a scalpel is scary. It’s scary because one tiny mistake from our side might cost someone their life. I hope that the various workshops that we conduct in CE will help us tide over this fear and help us become more confident in our abilities. I’m super excited to be part of the team and I’m looking forward to another year in CE. Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions

Yatra Vasa
First Year Batch RepresentativeWith a scalpel in your hand you feel unstoppable. There’s no fear, there’s no pain. You’re ten feet tall and bullet proof. Hello! My name is Yatra Nayan Vasa and I am the Batch Representative for this year. It is my first year being in this academic club yet the people in this club already feel like family. I am very new to these skills but I look forward to learning them and spreading that knowledge through interactive workshops, CMEs and lectures. The most important class you can take is technique. One has to learn the process; learn it through endless repetition until it belongs to you, and this is what Cutting Edge brings to you. I look forward to creating new memories, and learning. The carousel never stops turning.
