Aditya Jeevannavar (Eggsy)
Sophomore Undergrad, Biological Sciences

The punniest guy in the group irritating at times but mostly amusing, his curly hair, dimple chins and rosy lips have driven people crazy. An enthusiastic quizzer, plays basketball and uses lame puns in his free time. He is known for his insightful ideas and his aversion to computational biology.

Gopinath Shanmugam (Gopi 65)
Senior Undergrad, Biological Engineering

Our Co-Team Leader, Gopi as we all affectionately call him, is not new to iGEM. He is as polite as he is kind. Gopi is a self-proclaimed insomniac and spends his nights doing sketches. He can be seen with a peacock feather on his head and a flute in his hand at random times of the day (Just like our writer got inspired here). Calm and composed, he always does stuff after a thorough investigation of all possible outcomes. “Fueled by BIRIYANI and PAROTTAS." Read more about him on his Wikipedia page

Kailash BP (Nalla thambi)
Junior Undergrad, Biological Engineering

Lord commander of the data watch. Was given the title Nalla Thambi(Tamil: good little brother) for sincerity and addressing seniors as Anna(Tamil: big brother). Hails from Chennai, goes home once a fortnight and returns with homemade food! Fluent in many languages including English, Tamil, Telugu, C, Perl, and Python. As a side project in a parallel universe he is working on turning himself into Pickle Rick.

Karthik D (KD)
Senior Undergrad, Biological Sciences

One of the friendliest persons that you’ll ever meet in the institute, his single mantra to lead a simple life: Put Peace. Sometimes he puts so much peace that he starts mugging (read studying) only from 6am for an 8am quiz. One simple way of offending him is to say something bad about Bangalore. Called the Team Leader with respect, he is an expert at coding and can learn literally anything in one single day. He doesn’t wish to depend on others and aims to stand on his own legs in his own farm.

DVSSS Kushal Kumar Reddy (Yellow Pages)
Sophormore Undergrad, Biological Sciences

Digavinti Venkat Shiva Satya Sai Kushal Kumar Reddy is a super stud who has successfully managed 10 Positions Of Responsibility without breaking a sweat. Known for his infinite contacts all over the world, he is fondly called Yellow Pages. He’s an unpaid guest at his own house, one who uses it for bed, bath, and nothing beyond. In addition to all these superpowers, he has got one more to his bag: Multilingualism.
