Krishna Kummari From Undavelly to ISRO

About

Krishna Kummari

Today, when I introduce myself as a scientist at ISRO, I carry my parents’ story with mine.

This is a personal space where you can understand my journey, meet the people behind it, explore my work, and learn from my experiences.

It is also a place where students can seek guidance, professionals can connect with me, and where I can share articles, photographs, and technical discussions.

Profile in 3D

A 3D likeness

A dignified bust built from the approved photographs, for the journey’s profile scene.

This 3D likeness was built from three front-facing photographs. The sides and back of the head, the ears and the hair volume are not visible in those photographs, so they are approximations. The photographs remain the true reference.

Drag or use the arrow keys to turn the bust. The photographs above remain the primary identity reference.
