Two Indian students have been elected as presidents of the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Government in the recently held elections at Babson College, located in the USA.

Twenty-year-old Khushi Chindaliya, an undergraduate student in Business and Economics has been elected as the president of the undergraduate student government, while 26-year-old Basu Singh, an MBA student has been elected as president of Babson’s Graduate student government.

This has happened for the first time in the institute’s history that two Indians have been elected as presidents.

Chindaliya hails from Surat, Gujarat and was welcomed to the Babson College on a full Rs 2.5 crore scholarship as a “Babson Global Scholar”. Even though 10 students were selected globally, Khushi was the only Indian to be awarded this scholarship. It covers Khushi’s entire cost of study for four years – tuition, room and board, books and supplies, health insurance, personal and travel expenses, etc.

“I look forward to working with my colleagues to make meaningful changes that will benefit our fellow students. I was only 15 when I graduated from Dexterity School of Leadership and Entrepreneurship. I hadn’t imagined then that one day I’ll be studying at one of the world’s best colleges for entrepreneurship and even be elected president here,” she said.

Singh is a 26-year-old from Patna, Bihar and is currently pursuing his MBA from Babson College as a Social Innovation Scholar. He is one of three students globally to have received the prestigious scholarship given to exceptional individuals who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities.

“As president of the graduate student government, I am eager to work with my colleagues to create a welcoming and inclusive community for all students. I could have never imagined even studying at America’s No. 1 College for Entrepreneurship, leave aside being elected the President – this would have never been possible without the training and support I have received at Dexterity for over 9 years now. I am humbled and grateful,” he said.
