KHUSHI KEDIA

President

"It's been an absolute privilege be a part of the Business Council at UC San Diego for the past two years, initially starting as the VP of DEI and now serving as the President. This journey has been nothing short of transformative, offering me invaluable personal and professional growth while allowing me to give back to the remarkable business community at UCSD.

Our focus this quarter has been on introducing innovative business events and revitalizing existing initiatives, all with the aim of fostering a stronger, more connected community. Leading this year's executive team of dedicated individuals has been both an honor and a joy; their commitment to excellence in their work, coupled with their vibrant personalities outside the organization, has made every moment truly special. As our executive team strives to leave a lasting impact, I'm optimistic about our collective contribution to the continuous success of this council.

Here's to the bright future ahead!"
