I don’t think I’ll ever be able to sum it all up in one page, but here’s a few key things that I did through out my insti-journey so far!

Elections 2022

The journey to contesting, then winning and becoming the Institute Cultural Affairs Secretary was one of the most craziest journeys that I’ve partaken with immense learnings in every step of it.

Without my friends and seniors, I wouldn’t have been able to make it. It starts with my senior and mentor all along, Anfas Nujum, who really put in his heart and soul to make me win. My victory was beyond the notion of it just winning.

Here a few key moments from my election

The Fifth Estate

The Fifth Estate, is the official and an Independent student Newsbody of IIT Madras. Being a part of the team was one way that kept me hooked to writing, and what’s more enjoyable than doing something that you absolutely love doing?

Correspondent, 2020-2021

As a correspondent of the Newsbody, I worked on the following four pieces. I’d a lot of fun interviewing a wide-spectrum of people, and over time I’d learnt a lot from the process.

Editor, 2021-2022

As the editor, I had the opportunity to interview the Dean of IIT Madras and also work on a few key pieces from within the institute

That’s all folks!

General Secretary, Sarayu

Everything at IIT Madras is student run. And so were hostels. As a freshman, I had the slightest of clue about what was awaiting. Three months into my first year, I contested in elections for the post of General Secretary of the freshwomen hostel.

As an elected representative, I had worked along with six-other secretaries, and we had absolute fun doing the work. We conducted competitions, held social nights and indeed participate in the inter-hostel championships which were renown through the years.

SLC Parliament Delegation

Every year, a cohort of students visit the National Capital to witness an in-house parliament session, interact with National Economists, Public Policy Agencies and also the Member of Parliament. I’d been a part of the 2019 Cohort, and it had been one of the best ever trips that I’d made!
