About

I'm G Surendar Thina (gsthina), Your tea-time college senior, whom you can open up your problems without any hesitation, to help you break down complex ideas into simpler actionable steps. Build your INEA before graduation, along with the 100+ like-minded members who are supporting each other as a community. Let’s discuss over a quick call, to do a quick vibe check and understand if I can be an apt mentor for you. More About me: Currently, I'm working as a Customer Operations Engineer at Cloudera. In my role, I utilize a combination of soft skills like communication, compassion, listening, and critical thinking, along with my hard skills in Hadoop, Spark, and Yarn. In addition to my work, I'm actively involved in creating online content where I share my personal experiences from my college days and offer valuable tips for today's college students. One of my core passions lies in engaging with enthusiastic students. I'm dedicated to providing them with exposure to the industry through opportunities such as product development, internships, and company visits. I'm also building a community for college students known as the "Think Digital Students Community." I'm deeply committed to youth empowerment and am working toward the creation of micro-communities to encourage self-governance among young people. I believe in values like delayed gratification, self-governance, active listening, and envision a world filled with consciously self-governing individuals. Appreciate you reading until this! Cheers! 🚀

Placed from College

Jul 2017Jun 2018 · 11 mos · Chennai Area, India

  • Got a chance to learn and work with Core Java and Spring MVC for almost a year. The friends I got here are lifetime worthy. The experience here is definitely a memorable one.
  • I have to thank the seniors who were with me throughout the year. Some of the notable seniors are Kathiresan, Sangeeth, Prasanna, Pavithran, Mathuganga, Meena, Priyanka and very importantly Thangaraj. All their lives were not so easy. I wish they have a better life ahead in the future. I’m glad they are already out of the company and in a better place now.
  • I joined as a Software Developer in FSS, one of the early Financial companies in India. I got placed for a decent package, and our batch was called “The Elite Batch”. An external mentor assigned to our batch, Ajay (AJ) cultivated an interest in Java. I can write another article about my experience with him, not here.
  • It was quite challenging to survive in the company without knowing the depth of Java, but I did showcase my Ionic + Angular Skills to keep up my position in the team.

  • Think Digital is a student-first and a student-led movement designed to help young people build habits, systems, and self-governance around four essential pillars of growth: Identity, Network, Exposure, and Awareness (INEA).
  • TD is built on a belief - that every student deserves more than just a degree. They deserve clarity, connection, and confidence to design their life consciously.
  • I play multiple roles here - Founder, Mentor, Architect, and Bridge Builder.
  • As a Founder, I build the overall direction and vision of the community.
  • As a Mentor, I work directly with students — listening, guiding, and helping them turn confusion into clarity.
  • As a Community Architect, I design systems that allow transformation to happen without constant push or supervision.
  • And as a Bridge Builder, I connect students to mentors, companies, and opportunities that give them real exposure.
  • Think Digital is not a company. It’s a movement.
  • A movement to help young people find their Inner Compass, and build a life that’s not just successful - but self-directed.
