What was college life like back in 2009?

In this episode, we turn back the pages of SVNIT’s history with alumni Nijeesh Padmanabhan and Venkat Iyer, two voices who were there when Renesa was just beginning to find its form.

They take us through the energy of the student crowd at that time, when writing and creative expression were at their peak, and how their magazines drew people in and created a culture of belonging. It’s more than just nostalgia, it’s a conversation between then and now, weaving together memories, milestones, and the bigger picture of how a student-led magazine became part of the institute’s identity.

Most importantly, they reflect on how being part of Renesa shaped them as people, teaching them to lead, create, and express, and how those lessons still guide their journeys today, across different paths of life.

If you’re curious about the roots of Renesa, or simply love stories of how campus experiences stay with us long after college, this one’s for you.
