Did someone order a yappuccino? Because that’s exactly what Nayan Jain, the head of production, is—a certified yapper. Always the spark in every conversation, she brings unmatched focus and mastery, making every detail of the event come together flawlessly. When she’s not yapping, you’ll find her strumming her guitar (singing not included, for everyone’s safety), vibing to new music, starting books she may never finish, or binge-watching her favorite Telugu movies. A true crossbreed—half Telugu, half Hindi, and fully filmy.

Meet Dhruvika, a 12th grader at P. Obul Reddy Public School who has somehow mastered the art of juggling CLAT prep, balance sheets, and the chaos of high school without completely losing her sanity (most of the time). As the Volunteer Head, she’s the one making sure the right people are in the right place at the right time (even when they have no idea where they’re supposed to be). With a knack for leadership and the ability to stay calm when everyone else is spiraling, she’s basically the human version of “don’t worry, I got this.” When she’s not busy making order out of chaos, you’ll probably find her on the basketball court, in the pages of a book, or lost in a nostalgic Telugu film marathon. A people’s person at heart, Dhruvika is excited to lead a team that’ll make TEDx PORPS Youth an event worth remembering.
