Geou Akshil

Edinburgh Napier Students'

Association President

(Societies & Community)

I am Geou Akshil SK from Tamil Nadu in India, I came to Scotland in January 2023 for my Masters in Renewable Energy from ENU. Experiencing the Scottish culture felt very much home as I feel there is a lot of similarities in Tamil and Scottish culture.

Having pursued my undergrad in Automobile Engineering I worked with BMW Motorrad and did content writing as a start to my career. Later moved into hospitality management, worked as a travel guide, motorcycle lead, trekking lead, and part time server in the UK. I have also established a camp site in the western of India where we used PV power as it was an off the grid location.

My curiosity to understand and improve the use of technology for the benefit of humans through sustainable ways without forgetting the importance of community living and togetherness. I am also an active member of the Lions Club International as a part of my passion for service towards fellow humans.

In my office as the student President of ENU, sustainability through student and staff community involvement is something that I am voicing big about and represent the issues faced by host and international students including accommodation across Edinburgh.
