Navya Puri

I want to be a part of the Indian Society committee because it creates a space where the culture of community and identity are celebrated together. As someone who has lived in 7 different countries, I value staying connected to my heritage while also sharing it with others. In this sense, I see the society as more than just events; it is also a platform of belonging. Being on the committee would allow me to contribute meaningfully to that sense of community and help shape an environment that feels welcoming and representative of India’s diversity.

As Welfare Officer, I would prioritise inclusion and accessibility at every level of the society. The society is open to people of all backgrounds, and I would work to ensure everyone feels comfortable engaging, whether they strongly identify with Indian culture or are simply curious to learn more and attend events. I would collaborate with the socials team to think of innovative and thoughtful ways to showcase India’s rich heritage while ensuring events cater to different beliefs and experiences. I would strive to create a supportive atmosphere where members feel heard, valued, and encouraged to participate fully in the society.
