SECRETARIAT

Meet the Team!

Ishan Pujari

Secretary General

From being kicked out by the chair in my first ever MUN experience to chairing a committee, I never thought I would hold the honoured position of Secretary General in my MUN career. My name is Ishan Pujari and I would describe myself as a calm and careful del who wishes world peace, but the delegates in my previous committees would surely disagree! They would probably vote me for “most likely to start WW3” in superlatives. & Honestly, I don’t mind that. Because I know that an engaging speaker always energizes the committee and makes it a memorable MUN experience. At Marke MUN 2023, our team hopes to achieve the same! We want to host moments of excitement, problem solving, collaboration and controlled entropy! (Thermodynamics reference for my stem geeks).

Abid Ali Qureshi

Secretary General

Hello, I am Abid Ali Qureshi your co-secretary general for Sunmarke’s first ever Model UN conference. Having participated in MUN for over 3 years now I can without question say that my Model UN journey has been quite interesting to say the least. Throughout these 3 years and 8 conferences I have met amazing people with whom I have shared a lot of memorable times and from whom I have learnt a lot both as a delegate and as a person. Every conference has been a different experience for me in the best way possible. Even though I have also had conferences which made me feel like those were last time I would ever participate in an MUN, they motivated and encouraged me to do even better next time.

I love cooking and baking, as well as painting and the greatest treasure in my life is my Nintendo Switch. I also follow Formula 1 and I support Ferrari so you best believe I'm loyal (and depressed).

I've been doing MUNs since I was 13 & I still remember attending my first conference. That feeling of excitement and wonder, in this world of debates, research, politics and more was truly extraordinary, and something that can never be replicated. That's what I love about MUN's. Not only the speaking aspect but the other stuff like the research, diplomacy, presentation skills. There's so much to do in an MUN, so many skills to learn and hone.
