Hi everyone! I’m Ayuni Karunatilaka, a second-year Law undergraduate. I’m passionate about playing the sitar, netball, and debating, and I love embracing opportunities to learn and grow. I’m also a volunteer teacher because I believe even the smallest acts of service can make a meaningful difference, and giving back to the community is one of the main reasons I joined Rotaract. Joining Rotaract has been one of the best parts of my university journey, introducing me to amazing friends, unforgettable experiences, and opportunities to grow while making a positive impact. I live by the motto, “If you never try, you’ll never know,” and I hope to inspire others to step outside their comfort zones and make the most of every opportunity.

As someone who absolutely loves all sports, being part of Rotaract has been a truly transformative journey. It has pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, build meaningful connections, and channel my competitive spirit into collaborative teamwork. Through organizing events and leading teams, I’ve overcome personal and professional challenges that have immensely shaped my growth. Most importantly, Rotaract has given me the platform to use my passion for sports to bring people together, give back to the community, and be part of something far bigger than myself.
Director of Sports and Recreational Activities
Vishal Manivannan
Vishal Manivannan ...belongs to the community of "roll up the thin sleeve and take what is mine." I do not merely play badminton but dictate the tempo of the entire match with a calculated grace that made me the vice-captain of the APIIT University team. Now, stepping in as the Director of Sports and Recreation, I am prepared to redefine the arena. My vision for the club’s sports and recreation is charmingly sweet but unapologetically arrogant. I aim to make sports and recreations an unforgettable spectacle where winning is the only option. Beyond the competitive arena, I master my grand strategy as a Business Management student specializing in Sustainability because enduring influence requires meticulous planning, not just short-term luck. When I retreat from the spotlight, I am contentedly stuck in a web of books, quietly dissecting the strategies of history. I am here to elevate the club, but I intend to do it entirely on his own terms.
