Organizers

AJ Future Fest exists because three separate events, run over three years, taught the AJ Future Tech Society how to actually pull this off. None of that happens without the students who took the job of running it. This page is a record of who they were.

TUSRR

The Ultimate Soccer Robo Rumble · Year One

Kamal Lohana

President

Kamal co-led TUSRR, the very first event the society ever put together. There was no template to work from — just a small pitch, a set of RC soccer robots, and a plan that had to hold up on the first try.

Manahil Saeed

President

Manahil ran TUSRR alongside Kamal with nothing to go on but instinct and whatever the two of them figured out as they went. Most of how the society plans events today still traces back to lessons learned that first year.

TEBB

The Epic Bot Battles · Year Two

Prabhat Pardhan

President

TEBB was a step up in every sense — heavier robots, tougher rules, a ring instead of a pitch. Prabhat took that on as president in only the society's second year, when getting anything more ambitious off the ground was still a real gamble.

Iqra Rahoo

President

Iqra was president for TEBB, then came back the following year to run AJ BRAWL as its Chief Organizer. Two events, two very different jobs — and she said yes to both.

AJ BRAWL

Bots Racing and Wrestling League · Year Three, Regional First

Iqra Rahoo

Chief Organizer

A year after co-leading TEBB, Iqra came back as Chief Organizer for AJ BRAWL — this time running the whole show, including the first two-category weekend the society had ever attempted. Line Follower Robot and Sumo Robotics, back to back, same event. That doubled the logistics on paper. In practice it meant a lot more nights spent making sure nothing fell through.

Ariyan Kumar

President

Ariyan was president for AJ BRAWL, the first event the society ran across two categories in one weekend instead of one. It's a small-sounding change on paper. In practice, it's the reason Future Fest could be planned as six tracks instead of one.

Bhawna Khatri

President

Bhawna rounded out the BRAWL leadership team, helping hold together an event that was, at the time, the most complicated thing the society had tried to run. What worked that weekend is a big part of why Future Fest was even worth attempting.
