Akshay Sharma

Akshay Sharma comes from a humble family. Born and brought up in the small town of Chheharta in the Amritsar district, his life revolved around weightlifting and collection of vintage items before his college life. He completed his school education from St. Xavier’s in Chheharta. The streets of the town became his playground as he spent his youth focusing on becoming a young man who was trained to be excellent in weightlifting. He had an eye for things that are unique and as a part of that, developed a formidable collection of vintage items. He pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Ayurvedic Medicine, where his political life eventually began.

At 20, he met with a few leaders and officials from the Indian National Congress at the Congress Future Leaders Program in Amritsar, and thus began his final entry into the political arena. Leading a rally of overwhelming leaders in some of the most politically-tense areas in Punjab, it was realized that Akshay had a flair for politics and a mind that was un-paralleled amongst his contemporaries.

In 2015, Akshay was appointed as the chairman for NSUI from Pune and brought with himself a fresh wave of volunteers into the organization. Membership rose from a mere 15,000-20,000 per year under him to a record breaking 90,000. The first ever Hindu to participate and win the elections, Akshay showed everyone that he was a man of mettle and would take the world by a storm.
