If Shastrarth has a safety net, it’s basically just Abhinav Agarwal. The man, the myth, the reality. As the college CR, he’s always been the one-stop shop between students and teachers. He somehow manages to keep everyone on the same page, and if you ask him how he handles all that pressure, he’ll probably just laugh it off.
When you see Shas running smoothly on the big day, it’s probably because Abhinav is somewhere in the background, reasoning with a vendor or getting permission from the guards. He takes on all the chaos so the rest of us don’t have to panic. Every little hiccup that could have stopped the event in its tracks? His jugaadu skills made sure they were sorted out before most of us even realized there was a problem to begin with.
It’s rare to find someone who can carry the weight of an entire event and make it look this easy. We didn’t just need a Chairperson; we needed someone who would stand with us and help us. We needed an Abhinav. Looking back at the late nights and the moments we almost lost our minds, it’s hard to imagine getting through any of it without him there to reassure us. We are so lucky we had him. So, to the guy who gave so much of himself, and who made saving the day look like just another Tuesday; Shastrarth owes you one.

Astha
If Shastrarth has a mind, it thinks like Astha; and if it has a spine, it probably borrows hers. Astha has been a part of Shas for long enough that it’s difficult to imagine what it looked like before her. The smartest person you know, and with an opinion on everything, although most of the topics are probably “lopsided” or “too saturated” for her to deign us with an opinion on anyways. You never quite understand how she manages to do it all- and if you ask her, you probably won’t get a straight answer either.

An Asiad microcelebrity in her own right- under the immense perfectionism and hyper competence, lies a person deeply emotional- and one of the only people who understands and sees Shastrarth the way most can’t. On-day Shas is a sight to behold, but much of it is because of Astha’s stress walks across the 3rd floor of BSc Economics, thinking everything through way before anyone would realise it needed thinking. She sees both the bigger picture and the smallest details, and somehow manages to care about both equally- and in doing so, she makes the people around her care more too.

It has been more than a privilege to be part of the vision and meaning that Shastrarth holds for Astha. If Shas has felt like something more than just work, more than just another college commitment, a large part of that feeling traces back to her. And while Shas will continue, as it always does, it will carry a version of her with it- in the way things are done, in the way people think, in the debate formats she was always behind us about, the standards we will never quite meet again, and in the reassurance that things, will always, work out.

Ethos’ Mentors:

Yuvraj is the one person in SAMSOE you can count on for literally anything. No matter the department or the situation, he always seems to have a solution and when things get tough, he’s someone who stands tall and keeps things steady.
What really sets him apart is how effortlessly he balances it all. He’s one of the brightest in the room, yet easily the wittiest- someone who brings both sharp thinking and an unmatched sense of humor. And when it’s time to unwind, he’s just as present, the ultimate party animal who knows how to live it up.
His love for Shas is undeniable. He’s driven, dedicated, and once he sets his mind to something, he follows through with complete commitment. He puts his heart into everything he does, and it shows.
Someone who will always stand by you, support you, guide you and somehow still make everything feel lighter with a joke, Yuvraj is truly one of a kind.

Anvi is the kind of person everyone hopes to have in their corner. The go-to for anything admin related in SAMSOE, she handles everything with patience, efficiency, and a calm that makes chaos feel manageable. She’s always there for you, no matter what.
Her love for Shas truly stands out, and so does the way she leads. She creates a space people genuinely enjoy being part of, and everyone who works with her loves working with her and that says everything.
She balances it all effortlessly- late-night dancing and still showing up for you in the morning. Always up for a plan, especially if fries are involved.
Genuine, dependable, and truly irreplaceable, Anvi is someone we’ll really miss having around.
