About Harshit Sarda

As an academically driven Freshman at Ashoka, I am eager to embark on a transformative journey at this prestigious university. With a proven track record of success as the headboy of my school, I have demonstrated leadership, responsibility, and the ability to inspire others. Having spent my early years in Indonesia before returning to my home country of India, I have had the privilege of experiencing diverse cultures and perspectives. This exposure has instilled in me a deep appreciation for global affairs and social issues, driving my desire to make a positive impact in the world. Beyond my academic achievements, I am a dynamic individual actively engaged in extracurricular pursuits that foster personal growth and expression. Through participation in debate, theatrics, and various expressive arts, I have honed my communication skills and developed a knack for creative problem-solving. While my enthusiasm and quick learning abilities are assets, I recognize the importance of adding depth and nuance to my approach. I am actively working on refining my communication skills, becoming a better listener, and developing critical thinking abilities. Driven by a deep sense of curiosity and a passion for making a meaningful impact, I have already embarked on my professional journey through an internship at a consulting firm and another internship at an educational Corporation. These experiences have exposed me to real-world challenges, enhanced my analytical thinking, and provided me with valuable insights into the business world. With a strong inclination towards the fields of International Relations and social sciences, I am eager to delve deeper into these subjects and contribute to positive change on a larger scale. My diverse cultural background, having lived in Indonesia and now in India, has equipped me with a global perspective and a heightened sensitivity to social issues. Driven by a sense of purpose, I aim to contribute positively to the world around me. Whether it\'s through engaging in meaningful discussions, participating in community service, or supporting causes close to my heart, I am determined to make a difference. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals who share my drive for success and positive change.
