ABOUT
Hello! I'm Kanthi.
I'm from North Andover, MA, and am a sophomore at Cornell University majoring in Environment & Sustainability with a concentration in Sustainable Business and Environmental Economics and with minors in Business and Entrepreneurship. So far, I have been loving my classes as I have been exploring the interconnection between business and the environment. I am currently in the process of applying for summer internships in the fields of sustainability, consulting, and business.
During my free time, I like doing yoga, walking my dog, working out, and spending time with my friends. I also love dancing and have been learning Indian Classical Dance for the past 14 years at Triveni School of Dance. During these years I have learned three styles of dance: Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Odissi. At the start of my freshman year of college, I joined Cornell Nazaqat and have been learning Kathak.

In September 2023, I joined Cornell Sustainability Consultants. I am currently an Associate Consultant on the Sustainable Commerce sub-team. During the Fall 2023 semester, I worked closely with team members in researching and preparing a business sustainability toolkit which is being distributed to local businesses. During the Spring 2024 semester, we guided our client (a hair salon in Ithaca) in addressing their sustainability needs. Our goal as a sub-team is to help local companies that are eager to craft and work on sustainability goals and initiatives.
I have been a part of Cornell Nazaqat, Cornell University’s kathak-fusion dance team. It has been such a wonderful experience learning an Indian classical dance style I hadn't practiced before my involvement in this group!
Recently, I got elected as the Recruitment Chair. I look forward to recruiting new team members by organizing and hosting workshops, recruitment socials, and tryouts!
Over the past few years, I have been working to expand my non-profit work. ENVIORG is a non-profit with a mission to inspire and motivate change by using education to advance environmental literacy among students and work to create a sustainable future. To learn more about my work, visit ENVIORG.
In May 2023, I graduated from the Bala Vihar and language programs at Chinmaya Mission in Andover, MA.
I love learning about spirituality through Hindu scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita. Through the language program, I mastered Telugu fluency.
