Meet The Team
President
Sukriti Garg
Sukriti is someone who finds inspiration in everyday moments and the people around her. She grew up in New Delhi and recently finished her Masters in Design for Interaction at Delft University of Technology. Before that, she spent three years as a UX/UI designer at Accenture, building on her background in communication design. With a naturally curious and old-school side, Sukriti appreciates handwritten notes, real conversations, and truly believes that “what is meant for you, will come to you.”
She finds comfort in nature, loves taking long walks, and feels most at home with a good meal or a great cup of coffee. For Sukriti, it’s the simple things that spark the most joy and inspiration.
External affairs manager
Maitri Kallur
I’ve hopped across different towns in Karnataka but always find my way back to Bangalore, now journeying through TU Delft’s halls as a Masters student in Construction Management and Engineering with a Bachelors in Architecture. I’ll either balance a design concept and technicality or steer the conversation toward food (or the latest Reel trivia—don’t judge). With a playlist for every vibe and a knack for noticing every obscure architectural corner, I’m your go-to for random facts and smooth segues!
Fun Fact: I’m always on time, but somehow, the world rarely starts with me. Also, I remember every corner I've loved, right down to the exact material.
Quote: “I may be social and asocial, but I’m never out of place—unless the start time was actually the start time!”
Internal affairs manager
Nikhil Shithole
Starting a Masters degree after a few years of work experience from India, he aims to bring in a lot of knowledge and wisdom to the board. His role in ISA and his Masters in Management of Technology align very well with taking up responsibilities related to legalities and policy as an Internal Affairs Manager.
Coming from Pune he has a big circle of friends from all over India. He is the guy whom you should go to if you want some ‘jugaad’ in your life!
Fun Fact About Me- I love cooking and every recipe that I cook is an experiment. So, I never know the outcome the outcome until I've eaten and am here the next day!
Events manager
Leela Meghana Kotha
Coming to the Netherlands after living all of her life in Hyderabad, Meghana brings a culmination of cultures to the board. She is doing her Masters in Management of Technology and is the Events Manager who never misses a chance to share culture (food, movies, history) among internationals and Indians. She is a person who believes that genuine communication among people is the key to every relationship. So, if you want an open conversation any day, you know whom to go to!
One fun fact about Meghana is that she loves to trek but fortunately and unfortunately, she chose Netherlands (the flat lands) to do her higher studies!

Vignesh Kannan
Vignesh Kannan , originally from Trichy, and I thrive on taking up challenges that push me to grow and expand my horizons. I’ve always been passionate about finding sustainable solutions to the world’s biggest problems, and that’s what led me to pursue a Master’s in Sustainable Energy Technology, specializing in Battery Technology. I believe in the urgent need to address climate change, and my focus is on developing more efficient, eco-friendly energy storage systems that can help pave the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Outside of my studies, I’m an avid cook. Cooking is a creative outlet for me—it’s how I relax and express myself. I enjoy experimenting with different cuisines and perfecting new recipes. Whether I’m working on cutting-edge energy technology or crafting a new dish in the kitchen, I approach everything with the same passion and dedication.

Now, as a Digital Content Manager, she’s excited to bring this same energy to her work, crafting cool posters and illustrations that spark connection and emotion. She’s always up for a thoughtful conversation on philosophy and genuinely enjoys good company.
