PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS
Hey AIESEC :)
It is really beautiful to see the kind of change that you are bringing internally in the organization and externally. I can see teams being challenged, overshooting their targets but I see the focus being more on Battery. I see battery becoming an incentive to work, actually it's just a measure, and it’s not the final thing that defines you. We don't do that here, we don't work for batteries in AIESEC , let your work define who you are. I truly believe that life's true lessons comes when something challenging confronts us, that is when we actually see what we are made of , what our teams are made of , that is when we realize our true potential and our purpose in the long run. The efforts that you put in the work is really commendable but the right question I believe is,
Is it bringing a positive change in you as a person, are you becoming self-aware, are you Enjoying the journey?
Let us redefine ourselves for the better each day and unleash our true potential.

1. How has your AIESEC journey been so far?
My AIESEC journey has been amazing till now. It's a different experience altogether. I'm getting to learn a lot about team work, and I'm getting to explore myself too.
2.Who is the cutest EB member?
Shreya Sahni <3
3.Your views on the AIESEC culture.
AIESEC culture is beautiful. Seemed weird at first, but after my first Jive session, it felt wonderful. It's great how all the teams make efforts for bonding sessions and the balance that we keep between work and fun is optimum. The small gestures we follow like snaping our fingers instead of clapping and the "respect the speaker" sign show that we pay attention to minute details. It's a culture that has surprised me pleasantly.
4. What is the funniest thing about you?
From what I've been told by people, it's mostly how I laugh or how I dance.
5.Who would you like to shoot,date and marry from AIESEC?
Shoot : Shaurya Shekhar
Date: Nikhita Singh

NISHANTH PRAKASH
1. How challenging is to be the finance VP?
It is definitely a big challenge to be the finance VP but not hard though. It's a huge responsibility because there is a lot of amount flowing in and out constantly so as long as it's noted in time it's no big deal. But yes I love my job! :P
2. Where do you see yourself 3 years from now?
3 years from now I see myself doing my final year in one of the best B schools. Final year MBA.
3.How has your transition been from a team member to an EB member?
Transition from a team member to VP was not hard at all. I think the main reason for this is the senior members in EB who have trusted me, correct me if I am wrong and help me grow as a leader. But I have learnt a lot as a VP, I am sure there is so much more to learn :)
4.What is the funniest thing about you?
Well to be honest I don't think there is anything funny about me or rather I don't know if there is. Oh yeah EB members think that the way I speak Hindi is funny otherwise I don't know lol.
5.Who would you like to shoot,date and marry from AIESEC?
Shoot: None
Date: Divya Sinha
Marry: Gouri
