Arnav Kakar

Hello everyone! My name is Arnav, and I’m an At-Large Representative in the Columbia SPS Student Government and a master’s student in Technology Management. My passion lies in connecting innovation, strategy, and people, building bridges between diverse programs and creating opportunities for students to learn, grow, and lead together.

With a background in marketing, product strategy, and technology, I’ve worked across startups and global organizations, driving projects that merge creativity with data-driven decision-making. At Columbia, I’m committed to amplifying student voices, encouraging collaboration across disciplines, and shaping initiatives that make SPS an even more connected and empowering community.

Outside the classroom, you’ll often find me exploring NYC’s creative corners, experimenting with new ideas for tech-driven ventures, or sharing a good conversation over coffee with fellow students.
