Atharva is a passionate medical student who is dedicated to addressing healthcare inequalities. Having spent his schooling years in the DR Congo and India, he draws from his diverse experiences to understand medical access and treatment.

Atharva has a keen interest in epidemiology, genetics, and developmental biology, with a strong belief that technology will be pivotal in advancing these fields. He is fascinated by the evolution of pathogens, the development of pandemics, and the strategies used to combat global diseases.

Atharva has won eight Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards for topping his country and the world during his A Levels. He has authored a review paper on the role of abscisic acid in diabetes. Furthermore, he has participated in multiple Model United Nations (MUNs) and led an MUN club, training delegates in debate.

Outside of academics, Atharva is an avid football and cricket fan. He is a lifelong Arsenal supporter and aspires to visit their stadium one day. He loves music; he plays the piano and guitar in his free time as a creative outlet and a way to unwind.
