Mukund Awati – Treasurer

Mukund Awati

I live in South Windsor with my wife Deepali, son Maitreya (UCONN Freshman) and daughter Maithilee (High school Sophmore). We have been CT residents pretty much since 2004, except couple smaller stays in PA and India.
I have strong interest in social / cultural events participation and event management as well. I have handled corporate events with 400+ associates for few years, so I think joining CTMM Executive Committee will be a mutually benefitting engagement.
 

Sushant Gosavi – Executive Committee Member

Hi, I am Sushant Gosavi. I have been a resident of Connecticut for over a decade. I live in Rocky Hill with my wife, Shilpa, and my son, Vedant, who is a high school junior. I am a keen follower of current affairs and global geopolitics. Writing blogs is my passion, and I write across a variety of genres. I am deeply passionate about the Marathi language, culture, people, and, of course, food! I believe I can positively contribute to the preservation and growth of Maharashtrian culture through CTMM.
