A Round-up of the Kreaverse
|
It’s already August and there’s a lot happening around us – both within and beyond the Kreaverse. There’s a lot of noise in the world around Artificial Intelligence (AI), and it’s no surprise that its presence has rapidly permeated the educational landscape as well. Even so, the Kreaverse continues to be a space where original ideas, authentic thinking, and meaningful conversations thrive. This is reflected in the richness of student experiences, the diversity of campus activities, the depth of research our community engages in, and the collaborative spirit that drives events, dialogues, and everyday interactions in classrooms. As a community, we will navigate every challenge together; with curiosity, creativity, and care.
If you have stories or news to share with the Krea community, we invite you to connect with us at all.commsteam@krea.edu.in

On 26 July 2025, the first floor of the JSW academic building came alive with music, performances, posters, and open invitations. It was time for Club Rush, our annual introduction to the many student-run clubs and societies that shape campus life.
Every club brought something unique to the table. From games to corners, quizzes, karaokes and even science experiments, it was a vibrant mix of everything that makes SIAS campus life what it is. First-years had the chance to meet members, ask questions, attend mini-events, and most importantly, find the spaces where they felt seen and inspired. Freshers, keep an eye out for auditions and club meetings.
