Thank you.

We are thrilled to have you here. To start. Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself, introduce yourself, tell us about the position that you will see you're seeking as a board of director for Wayne State.

Sure. First of all, hello everybody and salaam alaikum. So a little bit about myself. I graduated from Wayne State. I've been living in Michigan for 35 years. Education is my passion. That's how I was raised. And I came here as a student. So I have a lot of ideas for the Wayne State and I gone through one of them is affordability. I gone through so many issues while I was in Wayne State and you.

Know, so you experienced the university firsthand.

Firsthand.

You were a student.

I was a student and I gone through all the, all the troubles today's student going through. Okay. I can feel firsthand and I, I, I'm confident that I can help with my background and everything.

And that's very important. Like to have someone who's actually, who benefited, went to the same university, experience the same difficulties what students face. So I think that's very important. Well, I'm glad you're, you're representing yourself. You're, you're on that, you know, to become on the board. Anything else you'd like to add before you go to our next question?

So I, I just want to let the viewers know that, you know, I know what the hardship is when students are in the campus and I can answer, I can help and there are many ways so we can get into the issues later on. But I just want to let you know I am one of them. I came through the life what they are facing today. So I would love to help them and if I given an opportunity to get onto the board and there are a lot of things we can fix in Wayne State is a great university, great location. You know, I love Michigan, love Detroit. You know, our kids will be living here.

Yes. So let me just translate a little bit. So Azal NA NA must Michigan for exams Latin Center Ijal Michigan KAPALEB. Board of directors of wayne state. University can you share some details about your personal and professional background and how they have prepared you for this role.

Sure, sure. First of all, I just want to let you know like many of you came through the hardship and everything and I came from a village like most of you did and my father, my father was a farmer so I know what the hard work is and I came and I survived. I landed in this country with a thousand dollars in my hand with a tuition for one semester and landed in December of 89 and then came and I never seen snow in my first time I see many of you guys we are in the same environment. We came from the.

We are in the same ship.

Exactly. We all came from the desert area never seen a snow so not only saw the snow in first year I ended up working outside. So within one semester I worked hard. I sent the money back to my father. My dad, whatever he gave me I built my life and you know that's my based on I I have a master's degree in chemical engineering from mainstream I lived in the campus so there are some things when I see you know what nothing changed. City developed a lot but you know what? Same old issues. Today's students are facing the same old issues. And I said, you know what? We need to do something about it. We need to fix it. We need to help these kids and the talent also we're losing kids are moving out of the state. We need to keep them here. We need to do something about it. We need to train them, we need to teach them for tomorrow's job so that you know what? We kids are moving out because they feel like we don't have jobs. But you know, we do have jobs. Michigan is the technology hub, automotive hub. We have a lot of jobs. I am in technology business. Part of my business is a technology business. We ended up bringing the people not only from other states, sometimes out of the country too. We need to fix this, you know, we need to keep our kids in Michigan.

So Sunny. University ashbiha. Wayne state university. Of Detroit powerat Actar Basil Mushkila City Hasa in the whole education Hawanasa education that's why. More advanced curriculum. That will lead me to my third question. What have been some of your key accomplishments in your previous positions or role that demonstrate your stability to become board of Director?

Sure. First of all, start with my business actually just want to let you know I am in telecom business. In my business also I am bringing the money back most companies outsourcing so what I do is I I'm taking telecom US Telecom service taking and selling outside the country. So instead, so if not for me, these companies buy the telecom service from the foreign companies. So I'm bringing the money back. That's my business accomplishment. I'm helping the country. And not only that, I've been involved in a lot of philanthropy work especially in the pandemic time. I was able to work with Senator Runstead and we raised money for the food pantries and everywhere, wherever we need. So a lot of social work we did. And also I'm not sure Sal, you remember it came on the news too at that time the police officer Lauren Coates when he got ambushed and killed Detroit cop. And I was able to raise. I'm glad I was able to raise $15,000 for the family and I was the lead. I took a leadership on that one. And also I'm part of a organization with 40,000 members. It's called American Telugu Association. With the part of the organization we raised quarter million dollars last year. And for the kids, every year we announce thousand dollars each for the poor kids who are performing well in the school. So this year part of it I'm announcing $2,000. Also I was involved in Red Cross big time Kentucky Tornado. We raised about $25,000 and another 25 we raised. It's going to be pretty soon we'll be presenting the check to the Red Cross with the condition of using the funds within Michigan. So we made sure that these funds should be used within Michigan. And that's my philanthropy side but with my business background, I have a very strong business background with the reducing the cost and running the business more efficiently and I can do better job and I'm, I'm sure we can fix a lot of, you know, especially affordability issues. We can do it.

Okay, let me just translate this, Sonny. It's Sunny fundraising month. I love American Telugu. Libiha Arbain Aleph MEMBER. So that means. Of the red cross. Under the one condition. So. Well, we thank you for the effort, Sunny. That's, that's, you know, it's always good to do good deed.

I'm glad I'm able to help.

Thank you. Thank you. What are your main goals and priorities if you're elected to the board of directors for Wayne State University?

So I am running because of the personal pain points I faced and let me tell you, some of them, especially as I said again, affordability is the main thing to, you know, kids are. It took me 15 years to pay off my tuition with the 26% on the credit card. That's not good. I think these Kids. These kids. The school needs to be affordable. We can do it many ways. Raising the tuition is not the only way to run the colleges. Okay. There are a lot of wastage. I'm sure we can control the cost. And also I have a. So we can approach alumni. There's a lot of alumni successful companies, private companies make the partnership with the private companies not only affordability, we can also make them partner to provide the jobs to our kids. Training, internships. There are a lot of things I'm in the business. I do understand. I need people too. So we can definitely bring the kids and try to keep the kids in here. And also next one is especially Wayne State being in downtown. So security is utmost important.

That's true.

So we need to work with the law enforcement. I mean so far they're doing excellent job. I have no issues at all. When I lived in the campus things were pretty bad. Now things are good. But you know what, let me tell you Sal can be better. Sal. I have a 22 year old daughter. Every time she calls and my wife first thing she asks is are you okay? Is everything is okay. And that's every patient parent concern is that every parent concern is that. So we need to make sure that the kids are safe in the campus. So you know those are some of the points. And also you know what? Free speech. Okay. Free speech with the responsibility. Protests are definitely welcome but not a violent protest. So we should have a voice for everybody, not just a one group. I think that's more important for students to share ideas. Okay. Whether it's objection or whatever. You know whether they're supporting some issue, it doesn't matter. I think everyone should have wise.

So let me. Let me go ahead and translate the first three points. So. Affordable. State which AK Universities Michigan interest for their employees. Are you safe. Level. Detroit security. Freedom of speech and freedom of teaching responsibility. Sunny, is there any. So we touch point of three different. We touched actually three points. Is there anything else you would like to add?

Oh, just want to add one thing. I want viewers to know that this position is a voluntary position. I'm not getting any paid for this position. It's entirely voluntary position. In fact actually I am ready to spend my own money. It's my passion. I'm running because of my passion and running because I would like to help the students. On no.

So Sunny, why do you believe our listeners should support you to become board of directors?

Well, first of all just want to let you know that this POS So they need to support me because we need to work with as a community. We need to fix these issues in the schools. We need to help our own kids. I am. I cannot win unless until I have a community support. Okay. As I said again, this is an unpaid position. I would like to help. It's coming as a passion for me after when, you know, graduating from Wayne State, living in Michigan, this state and this country, this university gave me everything for me. I felt like it's a, you know, time for me to give it back. Time for me to do something for the community. And that's exactly why I'm running. I need the support, everyone's support. I cannot do myself. I need your support to help our kids as a community. Let's keep our kids in Michigan. Let's fix the schools. Let's keep. Let's make schools safer and affordable for our kids.
