Hi everyone, my name is Yabsira and some fun facts about me are that I love growth and tackling my fears. In the past, I have bungee jumped off a bridge, jumped out of a plane (with a parachute), and swam with sharks in the free water. I am excited to be your GBSA President and look forward to building a strong community here at Olin!

Greetings, everyone! I’m Neel, representing Bengaluru, India. Thrilled for the upcoming semester and eager to contribute to diverse DEI initiatives! Bringing a wealth of experience in Corporate Strategy and a Finance background, I add a dynamic touch to the mix. Here’s a quirky tidbit about me – I once had a pet Eagle! Looking forward to a year filled with learning, innovation, and meaningful connections.

Hey! I am Nandini Neelayyagari, a Chartered Accountant (equivalent to CPA in the US) and your go-to nerd for accounting/finance problems. I am from Hyderabad, India, the place of biryani, and I spent the last decade at Deloitte tackling accounting/tax issues for multiple companies.
On campus, you will see me doing any one or both of my favorite activities, talking to people and/or drinking coffee. In my view, the toughest of the challenges can be tackled with a grin and a cup of coffee. My hobbies include reading, writing, yoga, and attempting to keep up with the Gen Z world (have a long way to go here).
Look forward to serving the GBSA as the VP-Finance for the next year and connecting with you all to embark on a fun-filled journey together!

Hello everyone, I hail from Dharwad, India, which is famous for its sweet delicacies, but I promise I’m not as sweet—I’m more of a spicy mix of engineering and sales! I started in Mechanical Engineering, but it turns out the only thing I was engineering was a career pivot into Sales/Business Development.
I’ve worked with B2B and B2C clients, and I’ve sold products to over 120 countries—yes, I’ve been counting. Along the way, I’ve helped companies hit the jackpot with $1M in monthly revenue, feeling a bit like a business wizard, minus the wand and the fancy hat. In my last gig, I wore a consulting hat, setting up sales operations. It’s like being a backstage magician, except the rabbits and hats are replaced with spreadsheets and sales strategies. On the side, I’ve dabbled in the food industry with a cloud kitchen serving meals to COVID patients—because who says superheroes can’t cook? When I’m not conquering the world of business or cooking up a storm, you’ll find me unwinding with cricket and snooker. They’re my way of hitting sixes and potting balls to keep my mind sharp. Finally, like most of you, I have come to B-school to pivot into consulting. So that’s me, a mechanical engineer turned sales maestro, part-time chef, a sports enthusiast, and aspiring to be a great consultant.
