I have previously acted in multiple leadership roles, including being the head of my college's robotics club, the placement representative during my undergrad, and a member of the junior analyst council (JAC) during my work tenure at CITI, during which I have brought some valuable contributions to my community. As the placement representative, I successfully connected 85% of my batch with employment opportunities through the University Placement Cell.

Meanwhile, I would like to focus on the actual issues that the student community might face. I don't have a clear agenda or a vision, but I plan to work on the problems that come our way by getting collaborative criticism and feedback from each of you and ensuring our voice is heard and necessary action is taken.

What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?
As i hold 10 years of corporate experience and i was manager in my previous companies. So i quite have experience of engaging with people on daily basis.
As i come up from both technical and functional background i can understand difficulties from students perspective related to course.
I used to teach children in my previous company as volunteering activity regarding finance and tutions during my engineering days so i also understand perspective from faculty/module leader.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
I want to become single voice of our class to module leaders so any issues can be communicated between faculties and all students.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
During initial week i tried to connect most of the students. I am listener instead more of a speaker. So I generally listen all concerns from students irrespective of their backgrounds/gender. I will still ask them volunterly on a regular basis for their concerns/feedback for each session at end of week if they are not coming to me.
Hopefully There should be only positively feedbacks we can share with module leaders.
But as per saying - "Criticism always make system a better version".
