Shreyansh "Shrey" Majumdar
Head Chair
Shrey is a first year LLB student from India who is studying at King's College London. As soon as he landed in London, the first thing he did was scout model UNs throughout the UK. He started Model UN at the age of 11. During his high school Munning career, Shrey has delegated, chaired and directed a huge number of committees and crises ranging from providing underprivileged children with optimal higher education, protecting the right of refugees; all the way to infiltrating Nazi Germany, stopping Blackbeard's assault on the island national of Chandoria. Of course that's not his only interest. Shrey also enjoys partaking in heated debates where he will always pick the controversial stance cause he loves heating the argument. He is also a singer and plays the keyboard and the guitar. He wishes all the delegates the best of luck!
