President
Shagaan Thevarajah
I first learned about Rotaract after school and thought it was just for business professionals. That changed when I joined APIIT and discovered our Rotaract Club. Starting as an introvert with little knowledge, my first project, "Proactive," opened my eyes to the full Rotaract experience—community service, networking, sports, and professional growth. Since then, I’ve embraced every opportunity. From general member to director and now president, Rotaract has transformed me into a confident leader with a global network of friends. It’s been a life-changing journey, and I’m deeply grateful for it.

Secretary

My journey with Rotaract began as an Interactor in school, and my passion only grew as I entered university. Starting as Director of Community Services, I am now honored to serve as Secretary of RAC APIIT. Rotaract has transformed my life, offering personal and professional growth, opportunities to lead initiatives, and connections with inspiring individuals. I’m excited to continue making a positive impact alongside my fellow Rotaractors.
