STEPHEN CHERLA is the student of SPHOORTHY ENGINEERING COLLEGE, I might fall short of words while saying about him, he is the MAN ON FIRE. To start with where what and why am talking about him. He is born in the year 1996 may 23rd to the proud parents C. Bhasker and C. Vandana.

Intelligence to me isn't just being book-smart or having a college degree, it's trusting your gut instincts, being intuitive, thinking outside the box, and sometimes just realizing that things need to change and being smart enough to change it. 

Stephen is just like this,  a person who believes in himself and can change things from wrong to right. Talking about his life, he had a pretty good start at the college, blessed with good supportive friends and most importantly the faculty members who were very supportive at each and every step he has taken in his life to grow into a better individual. He loves playing video games and watching animation which made him attracted towards it and as a result, Graphics and Animation was all he wanted to do in his life (A person's hobbies can even turn into their life ambitions). He started exploring and learning new technologies like Ar and Vr and started learning new tools like 3D modelling softwares, Game rendering Engines like unity and unreal. He is the person who not only tried and succeeded in developing himself but also trained his juniors which in turn made them to develop many projects . His strategy is that the goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover and to create men who are capable of doing new things. Our college is one of the pioneers which developed prototypes/products on Ar and Vr and this was possible just because of STEPHEN and his crew. The sky is the limit for his dreams, he not only dreams but strives hard to develop his dreams into reality. He along with his friends did few projects with which our college got recognized even more. 

THEIR PROJECTS WERE:

1. COVER UP- Automated  Car Cover

2. ARCHY BOOKS- Augmented Reality Educational Books

3. ARCHVIZ- Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Architecture Visualization.

4. SMART PROMO- Platform to create your own Augmented Reality Advertising Campaigns.

4. As a student of Sphoorthy Engineering College, he was even awarded the Best Student award and Best project award for the year 2016-2017.

I believe that people make their own luck by great preparation and good strategy as luck is where the opportunity meets preparation. This way he met Mr Jignesh Thalasila the founder of Startup Loop Reality which is a Virtual Reality based startup. He decided to work with him after his Btech and as a result he got a chance to work as an intern with that company for 2months.
