Dev Ahuja

My name is Dev Ahuja, and I am a sophomore (Class of 2027) from Cleveland, Ohio, in Eliot House studying Government and Economics. I am the Chair of the Governance Lab (GovLab), Harvard's first dedicated incubator for social impact startups. 

Over the next year, I am looking forward to providing student founders with the mentorship and funding to launch new ventures that will make a tangible impact in their communities. I am also a part of the Harvard Political Review and Research & Strategy Group, and have been involved with the Fellows & Study Groups Program, CIVICS, and the Policy Program. 

Outside of the IOP, I am a member of The Harvard Crimson Editorial Board, the Harvard Undergraduate Foreign Policy Initiative, and am an active board member of Harvard Dharma. In my free time, I love to root for Cleveland sports, solve crossword puzzles, binge shows, and eat ice cream.
