Anu Srinivasan : Primary Coach
Anu is the primary coach for CSK Robotics Program. She heads Technical Program Management at Amazon. During her 4 years association with CSK Robotics program i.e since the inception of this program, she coached, trained and led many teams through a successful path. With a deep understanding of both the technical and strategic aspects of robotics competitions, she is passionate about guiding our teams to success, not just in competitions, but in building essential skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity.
Under her leadership, our teams explore new challenges, innovate, and push the boundaries of what we can achieve together. Our teams are well recognized at regional, super regional/ state level competitions, We’re incredibly fortunate to have someone with her expertise and dedication on board. Her engineering background, her passion towards robotics and her unconditional hard work and support helped every student to excel in this next generation technology. We can all proudly say that all our tram is blessed to have such a wonderful coach.
Ravi Mannava : Additional Coach
Ravi Mannava is our next coach. He heads the Enterprise Architecture org. at Ingram Micro. Now, don’t let his impressive background in computer science and architecture fool you—Ravi Mannava is as approachable as a well-oiled servo motor and has a sense of humor sharper than a laser cutter. With 4 years of robotics know-how, he can troubleshoot a circuit board faster than most of us can find the ‘on’ switch! But beyond the tech skills,
Ravi knows how to keep things fun. He make all our seasons filled with creativity, laughter, and maybe a few too many robot puns. Not only does he know how to make robots dance, but he brings enough energy to power a whole fleet of drones! We’re lucky to have him guiding us through all our adventurous and successful seasons.
