I’m Santosh Kumar Kalivarapu, an MBA student specializing in Business Analytics at the University of Aberdeen. With a strong background in business analysis, marketing, and product management, I’ve worked with organizations like TCS, Razorpay, and YuppTV, contributing to process optimization, customer acquisition, and operational efficiency.

Working on the 'Cape Prince of Wales - Renewable Energy Windmill Turbine Project.'
Attending insightful events like the 'Scenarios' talk with Dr. Huw Pill, Chief Economist of the Bank of England.
Volunteering at Diversity Bridge to support community activities.
Networking at the Startup Grind event, where I connected with investors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders.
Participating in the two-day 'Sparking Change' workshop by Converge, where I gained inspiration from Jani Shibuya’s journey.
In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and badminton, which have honed my teamwork and leadership skills. I’m also passionate about sustainability, innovation, and supporting others in their academic and professional journeys.

Sara
University of Glasgow
Common Law [LLB]
Hi, I’m Sara! I’m currently in the first year of my Common Law degree and am having a blast! I applied for the course because I’ve always had an interest in society, namely the way it functions and what’s influenced it - which is something you’ll be learning a lot about throughout your studies. When not bombarded with a boatload of course work ( jk😊), I enjoy spending time with the new friends I’ve made on campus and attending the various events hosted by my societies. I also have an aptitude for becoming completely obsessed with a new film series every month - right now it’s the Hunger Games (Peeta Mellark supremacy✊). In the future, I hope to specialise in corporate and commercial law and (hopefully) secure a training contract down south. Adjusting to university life has been tough, but I’ve accumulated a ton of tips and tricks to make the transition easier! Shoot me a message and I’ll answer your questions – course related or not!
