Hi!! My name is Shivani Govind and I am so excited to be Sanskriti’s president this year! I am a finance major on track to pursue a career in corporate law. I am from the central valley and fluent in Gujarati! I am an expert at reheating frozen Trader Joe’s food and can roll semi-round rotis. I love spending my free time going out to explore the city or napping and binge watching reality TV! I can’t wait to meet all of you at our events!!

In my free time, I love watching new shows, going out with friends, and working out. I’m a pretty terrible cook, but if I had to, I could maybe successfully microwave some frozen butter chicken and rice from Trader Joe’s. I’m very excited to be Sanskriti’s Vice President this year, and to get to meet all of you!

Krish Lodha

Hey guys! Krish here, from Mumbai, India, majoring in Computer Science (aka mastering the art of turning coffee into code). I speak English and Hindi. Fun fact: I can whip up a mean pav bhaji—it’s basically my only survival skill, and I’m not even mad about it. When I’m not gaming, binge-watching movies, or pretending to be a pirate with my One Piece obsession, I’m probably out driving. Oh, and about photos… yeah, let’s just say I’m better behind a keyboard than in front of a camera!
Arjun Babla

Hey everyone, I’m Arjun! I’m a senior majoring in Management Information Systems (MIS). I’ve grown up in San Diego my entire life and love it here! A little fun fact about me is I speak an Indian language called Kutchi. In my free time I like to hit the gym, hoop, watch basketball + football, and hang out with friends. Excited for this year and let’s have a lot of fun!!
Deepanshu Joshi
Web Officer
Sup everyone my name Deepanshu and I’m a third year Computer Science major. I’m from the bay but my family is originally from Uttarakhand in India. In my free time I’m usually playing video games or out playing cricket. One of my favorite parts about SDSU and San Diego in general is the beach so you can often find me there surfing on the weekends as well. Looking forward to meeting all of you this year.
