Introducing... Chinmayi Mungara!!

A quick introduction from Chinmayi herself..

"Hi! I'm Chinmayi, a first-year MBA student, currently serving as the president of the student body at the Tepper School of Business. With a background in Pharmaceuticals, I'm eagerly transitioning to the beverage industry for my upcoming summer internship. Beyond academia, I have a passion for exploring new cuisines and restaurants, and I love reading books! I'm also an Indian classical dancer and teacher and have been deeply in love with this art form for about two decades. Dance has not only been a source of solace during challenging times but also a guiding force that provides direction and purpose to my life.

In the journey of combining business acumen with cultural richness, I am excited to bring a unique perspective to the TEDx stage!"
