One of his notable achievements includes founding the Campus Shark Tank, an incubation center that nurtures student startups from ideation to product development. In addition to his academic and research pursuits, Vikranth excelled in event management, playing a pivotal role in organizing his college fests in 2023 and 2024, design thinking workshops, Bharat Blockchain Yatra—a national-level event promoting Web 3.0 and blockchain, numerous movie promotion events, and the three-day Balotsav national event.

Vikranth's engagement extended beyond the campus. He attended the Silicon Valley Meetup at Stanford University in March 2023, where he connected with global innovators.
