Arjun Govind

Fulbright/University College London Entrepreneurship Award

Arjun Govind is a graduate of Pomona College in California, where he majored in Computer Science and minored in Philosophy. Originally from New York City, Arjun’s academic and professional interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence, ethics, and entrepreneurship. He has led projects that apply machine learning to social challenges, including addressing food waste at his college and launching a tool called Pocketly.ai to make college more affordable.

As a Fulbright Scholar at University College London, Arjun will pursue an MSc in Entrepreneurship at the UCL School of Management. His focus will be on exploring how to build sustainable entrepreneurial ventures that are socially impactful. He looks forward to immersing himself in London’s vibrant startup ecosystem, film and theatre scene, and soccer community, while also reconnecting with his family’s roots in the UK.

During his time in the UK, Arjun hopes to build relationships across disciplines and communities, developing a global perspective on innovation. He aims to return to the U.S. equipped with the skills, knowledge, and networks to launch ventures that prioritize social impact.
