About Us
Sneha Kannan
Executive Executive
Sneha is a senior majoring in pre-medical (read: biological) engineering with an interest in managing people. She has lived in the same room at MIT for the past four years. To her credit, she has moved one shelf 5 feet over her time at MIT, a sign of how much she likes change. From Maryland, she is great.
Santhosh Narayan
Executive Associate Executive
Santhosh a sophomore studying startups (read: computer science) who is interested in basketball and curling, though he doesn't play the latter. His favorite person is Michael Jordan, because that's not clichéd, though Peter Thiel is a close second, and also not clichéd. From Munster, Indiana, he can throw a pitch like the best in Silicon Valley.
Parthiv Patel
Executive Marketer
Parthiv is a sophomore majoring in biological engineering and economics, though he has barely taken any classes in either department. He is a well renowned hoodie aficionado and is always in a running competition with himself to say as little as possible. He hasn't traveled far to get to school: he's from Chelmsford, MA.
Connie Huang
Executive Designer
Connie is an undecided sophomore (read: computer science) who is interested in making fun of Santhosh. She is absurdly creative and probably as hipster as one can get without dressing like one. Though from Berkeley, she loves Hawaiian punch.
Jonathan Gootenberg
Executive Senior
Goot is a senior studying non-pre-medical biological engineering with an interest in Asian cultures and Helvetica. He once completed 132 credits in one semester. Also from Maryland, he is not as great as Sneha.
Ravi Charan
Executive Consultant
Ravi is a Junior studying Political Science and Mathematics, two fast-growing fields that will ensure he'll be a billionaire by age 30. A proud Minnesotan (well as proud as they can get), he can often be found walking barefoot on the bridge.
