More About Me?

My name is Anna Itkar, I am 26 years old, and I graduated from Anna University in Chennai, one of India’s leading technical institutions. यहाँ पढ़ाई करना मेरे career की शुरुआत (the beginning of my career) थी. What started as coursework and lab experiments in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) slowly transformed into what I now call my सपनों की उड़ान – the flight of dreams.
Today, I am a Lead Developer and Game Designer at Spribe, working on Aviator, a game that has captured millions of players in both India and Africa. The connection between my education and career is crystal clear: structured training in CSE, exposure to modern tools, and participation in cutting-edge research turned academic curiosity into a global profession.

How My Journey Began

Like most students, I didn’t start with big titles or global projects. My first steps were small but meaningful:

I built simple mobile applications as class projects.
I completed an internship at a local IT firm in Chennai, contributing to an e-learning platform.

I participated in student hackathons, where I discovered my passion for game design — a space where logic meets creativity.

A project in Unity and AR/VR labs at Anna University became the turning point, leading me to work with a startup building educational simulators.
Those early nights of debugging, endless cups of chai, and the thrill of making something work taught me one lesson: every small project is an investment in the future.

Why Anna University Matters

Founded in 1978, Anna University unites four historic institutions:

College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG) – est. 1794
Alagappa College of Technology (ACT) – est. 1944
Madras Institute of Technology (MIT) – est. 1949
School of Architecture and Planning (SAP) – est. 1957

Today, the university has 593+ affiliated colleges, 13 constituent colleges, and 3 regional campuses. According to annauniv.edu, over 7.2 million students and 14,000+ Ph.D. scholars are part of this ecosystem.

When I studied there, I had access to GPU-powered labs, IoT platforms, AR/VR simulations, and cybersecurity projects. These resources not only gave me technical skills but also the belief that even student prototypes could evolve into global startups.

From Learning to Leading

In my current role at Spribe, I blend game design, AI, and UX research to create engaging digital experiences. The discipline and analytical mindset I developed at Anna University still guide me every day.

One truth has stayed with me: career paths don’t always have to follow traditional employment routes. Even a small student project can scale into a globally recognized startup — proof that education fuels entrepreneurship.

Global Reach and Cooperation

Anna University is more than a local institution — it’s a global hub of innovation. Every year, it attracts students not just from across India but also from Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa, many of whom pursue advanced degrees in AI, data science, and cybersecurity.

For these students, Chennai becomes a तकनीकी विकास का केंद्र – a hub of technological growth. The presence of the Centre for Research (CFR) and initiatives like e-governance Anna University prove that शिक्षा की कोई सीमा नहीं होती – education has no boundaries.
