Keble MCR Sports Officer
Udai is a second year MSc in Major Programme Management at Said Business School. He is friendly, social and very active at Keble and you’ll definitely meet him at the MCR, Keble Bar, or one of his Keggers (either at Keble or Said BusinessSchool). While studying, Udai also runs his startup, Tuki (Finnish for support), focussed on helping academics find more financial stability by engaging with relevant part-time or short term opportunities with industry while during their research.
Udai is active across various Keble sports groups including Football, Tennis, Basketball, Pool and Table Tennis. This year he is particularly keen to make sports more accessible to MCR members and wants to encourage more engagement across the Keble MCR sports community so as to bring more people together. If you ever have a question, he is more than happy to help, so don’t hesitate to ask.
