Surabhi Seth, former president of Enactus SRCC, shares her Enactus experience!

Surabhi Seth was the President of Enactus SRCC during the year 2011-2012. She is someone who just looks serious on the outside (in her first year, her seniors used to ask her to laugh more often :P) but she is one of the most enjoyable persons to work with. Since she used to come across as a strict person and the co-president, Twinkle came across as the lenient one, they often tried interchanging their images. :-p

With a meticulous style of working, she writes down each and every thing. An organised and focused leader, it was in 2011-2012 that Enactus SRCC took up the surmount responsibility of two new projects and committed to empowering two new communities.
Surabhi loves the Beatles and Coldplay and is in Paradise Eight Days a Week. Whenever out on Enactus lunches, she finds herself surrounded by only vegetarians. Be it steadler pens or hand sanitizer, she has this obsession for a few peculiar things. (The hand sanitizer trait is perhaps a president-thing given that the current Enactus SRCC president, Nehal too finds hand sanitizers irresistible).
Lakshadweep island is really close to Surabhi's heart. And she is very close to all of our hearts. :)
Here's what she has to say about her Enactus experience! `


'' Our country is plagued by a plethora of problems. Everyday, we look at the misery around us, say a prayer for things to change, and then close our eyes and go about our lives. Before Enactus, I read about change, I spoke about change, but it was only through Enactus that I could truly bring about change! Enactus gave me a platform to bridge the chasm between thoughts and action, and make a difference. It has changed my life and helped me change the lives of those around me. Being a part of the Enactus community has been a transformational journey. One of the key takeaways from this experience for me has been the way it has enhanced my communication and people skills. Over the last three years, I have found myself interacting with people from various strata of society -­‐ from families living in the most deplorable slums to representatives of multi-­‐billion dollar corporations. I've learnt to work with people who come from diverse backgrounds and have equally diverse working styles. It has offered me an extraordinary lesson in leadership!
All in all, an experience like no other! ''
