Leadership

Secretary-General

Aahan Mishra

“I just never thought I couldn’t do it.” -Lightning McQueen (Cars)

Meet Aahan SG, a Secretary-General who is just as comfortable leading a team as he is on a cricket pitch or volleyball court. With multiple MUN wins and a YMCA podium finish to his name, he has built a reputation for sharp thinking and a strong presence in debate. Aahan brings a mix of focus and ease into every room. One moment he is breaking down arguments with clarity, and the next he is keeping the atmosphere light with his natural sense of humor. A loyal Real Madrid and Mumbai Indians supporter, he carries that same quiet confidence and competitive spirit into everything he does. What really sets him apart is how approachable he is. He believes in teamwork, pushes people to do better, and makes sure everyone feels part of the process. And somewhere in all of this is his inspiration, Lightning McQueen, because for Aahan it really is about trusting yourself and going for it. As Secretary-General, he is here to make sure the conference is engaging, competitive, and genuinely enjoyable, just the way a good MUN should be.

Operations

Director-General

Aditya Barde

“With great power comes great responsibility.” -Uncle Ben (Spider-Man)

Meet Aditya Barde, Director General — where authority meets experience, and expectations are set high from the start. An avid MUNer and a two-time Best Delegate with over six MUNs and five awards to his name, he’s no stranger to the pace, pressure, and precision that define a strong conference. But Aditya doesn’t just stay within committee walls. A track athlete, basketball player, and ICSE badminton state-level first-place holder, he brings the same discipline and competitive edge into everything he does. Add to that a first-place finish in debating and the title of Mr. AMNS, and it’s clear — consistency isn’t luck here, it’s a pattern. As Director General, Aditya sets the tone — structured, driven, and just the right amount of intimidating. He’s the kind who expects things to run smoothly not because they should, but because under his watch, they will. No unnecessary noise, no loose ends — just a conference that works exactly the way it’s meant to.

Management

Charge D'Affairs

Trisha Daga

“Trust the process, it’s the darkest before dawn.”- Thomas Fuller

Meet Trisha, a Chargé d’Affaires who brings intensity, discipline, and a quiet confidence into every room she steps into. An experienced MUN delegate, she is no stranger to high-pressure debate and knows exactly how to hold her ground when it matters most. Beyond committee, Trisha’s achievements speak volumes. As a regional-level basketball player and a state-level 100m sprinter, she thrives in environments that demand speed, focus, and resilience. Add to that her gold medals in Olympiads like SOF, LogiQuids, and EI ASSET, and you have someone who balances both intellect and athleticism with ease. When she’s not debating or competing, you’ll find her playing the keyboard, listening to music, or immersed in a good book. Thoughtful and driven, she values depth over noise, something reflected in her belief that “it is the quality of one’s convictions that determines success, not the number of followers.” As Chargé d’Affaires, Trisha brings a composed yet determined approach, ensuring that every challenge is met with clarity, purpose, and just the right amount of fire.

ORGANISING COMMITTEE

Her achievements extend beyond the arts, as she has also excelled academically, earning medals in prestigious Olympiads such as NELTAS, IMO, and LogiQuids, showcasing both intellectual discipline and analytical thinking.

Ground Team

Head of PR

Nicole Lopes

“When life gives you lemonade, make lemons. Life will be all like, ‘Whaaat?!’” –Phil Dunphy (Modern Family)

Meet Nicole Lopes — Head of Public Relations, 15+ MUNs in, and fully aware that half the game is what people see and the other half is what you make them believe. She’s the one behind the scenes turning ideas into impact, making sure the buzz is real and the vibe is unmatched. As Head of PR, Nicole doesn’t just post — she builds presence. From creating hype to making sure every detail looks effortless (even when it’s not), she’s the reason things feel as put-together as they do. If there’s a moment worth capturing, she’s already three steps ahead of it A die-hard Ferrari loyalist (through the pain and the glory), a chess enthusiast who’s always thinking five moves ahead, and someone who’s probably watched Suits one too many times, Nicole carries that same courtroom-like control into PR. Expect sharp execution, brilliant posts, and moments that land exactly the way they’re meant to. Fueled almost entirely by coffee and a steady diet of Suits and Law & Order, Nicole brings sharp energy, subtle sarcasm, and just the right amount of unpredictability wherever she goes. In short: if there’s a narrative to be shaped, Nicole’s already shaping it.

Design & Tech

Head of Design

Aanya Singh

“All it takes is faith and trust… and a little bit of pixie dust.” — Peter Pan

Meet Aanya, Head of Design—where creativity isn’t just an asset, it’s instinct. Thriving in fast-paced spaces, she’s just as at ease on the basketball court as she is building visuals that quietly demand attention. With a love for music and storytelling—from the timeless pull of Iris to the ever-evolving world of Taylor Swift—Aanya brings a sense of rhythm into everything she creates. Her work is fluid, expressive, and intentional—never accidental, always considered. The kind who thinks before she speaks (and sometimes thinks a little too much), Aanya lives equally in details and in depth. She overthinks, refines, reimagines—and then somehow still manages to love out loud, bringing warmth into everything she touches. Inspired by the presence and precision of Julia Roberts and Anne Hathaway, she understands that impact lies in the in-betweens—the pauses, the choices, the things most people miss. She may not always say the most, but her work usually does. Expect sharp aesthetics, quiet conviction, and a mind that’s always a few steps ahead—even when she pretends it’s not.

What began as a simple interest in sharing information and staying updated turned into an opportunity to operate at a much grander and more formal level through the press team. From delegates to the Executive Board, the flow of information, reports, and coverage rests in his hands, making the press not just a committee but the voice and memory of the conference. With responsibility, creativity, and a sharp eye for stories, Achintya aims to ensure that AMNS MUN’s first ever press report becomes something that will be remembered for years to come, not just as a report, but as the story of a conference that made an impact.

Her interest in science and mathematics reflects her structured way of thinking, balanced by a creative edge that makes her approach stand out. Described as thoughtful, driven, perceptive, and composed, she is someone who values clarity, efficiency, and getting things done right.
