Shaurya Manglik

Shaurya Manglik is someone who builds not just machines, but communities, systems, and stories worth sharing.

Born and raised in India, he came to Arizona State University to study Robotics Engineering and Technological Entrepreneurship, quickly realizing that leadership was just as integral to him as design and logic. He became the first international student elected as Student Body President at ASU Polytechnic not because he had all the answers, but because he asked the right questions: What do students need? Who isn’t being heard? What would it look like to truly build a campus for everyone?

He led with those questions, representing over 181,000 ASU students, managing a $1.1M+ budget, mentoring a 40+ person team, and advocating for change from classrooms in Arizona to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. He served on university wide boards, contributed to student technology policy, and elevated issues that often go unseen, especially for international and underrepresented students.

At his core, Shaurya is not defined by a title or a term. He is an engineer who values elegant problem solving, a visual thinker who finds clarity through a camera lens, and a quiet strategist who leads with empathy, precision, and intent.

He believes in designing systems that outlast positions, in leadership that invites rather than imposes, and in a future where innovation and inclusion are not separate goals, but deeply intertwined.

That is the future he is working to help build one decision, one project, and one opportunity at a time.
