Portfolio

Welcome to my Rotaract profile

I am a committed Rotaractor who is passionate about community development and service. Having served in numerous capacities in the Club and District since 2017, I have been an active member of the Rotaract community.

It’s a privilege to co-found and lead the Rotaract Club of Bangalore East. My dedication to Rotaract goes beyond my club; I have served in several district leadership capacities, including as a Zonal Rotaract Representative and District Sergeant-at-Arms.

During my Rotaract adventure, I have had the honour of organising and participating in several events, projects, over 50 orientations and training sessions, six district conferences, and various community development and youth empowerment efforts.

As Charter President of the Rotaract Club of Gems B School, I led my club to achieve several accomplishments, including being recognised in the India Book of Records for our joint efforts and winning awards such as Best President-Secretary and Best Charter Club. I was also pleased to be awarded Rotaract District Council 3190’s Outstanding Executive Council Member.

I am devoted to the Rotaract motto of “Service Above Self” and eager to keep helping Rotary achieve its goal of improving communities both locally and globally.
