A Letter from the
Secretary-General
Dear delegates, advisors, parents, and future diplomats,
It is my pleasure and honor to invite you to Chapter XV of Oakridge Model United Nations, taking place from July 31st to August 2nd, 2025, at Oakridge International School in Hyderabad. I am delighted to serve as Secretary-General for a conference that, for fifteen years, has been dedicated to values of education, excellence, and teamwork. For seven months, I am excited to work alongside an incredibly talented Secretariat of 17 others to plan a conference that showcases the best that Oakridge has to offer.
My name is Ritesh Marupudi, and I am a senior at Oakridge International School, studying Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science at the higher level. I have been part of Model United Nations since my freshman year of high school and have served on the Oakridge Model UN team for the past two years. Beyond its academic rigor, Model UN has been a training ground for thoughtful leadership; it refines judgment, deepens perspective, and builds the conviction to speak with purpose in the face of complexity.
Guided by a Secretariat focused on clarity and a distinguished Executive Board from across India, this year's chapter brings forward committees that reflect the scale and complexity of the world we live in. Over the course of three days, these committees will host focused, high-level debate, calling upon delegates to approach international issues with intellectual honesty and structured argument.
As the days draw closer to Chapter XV, I remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve as your Secretary-General. This role has been nothing short of a blessing, and I carry it with a sense of responsibility that reflects my faith and the support that made it possible. It has been a privilege to witness the dedication of my Secretariat as we work to bring this conference to life with care, intention, and the belief that diplomacy, when taken seriously, can shape something lasting.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out at secgen@oakridge.in. We look forward to welcoming you to Oakridge Model United Nations 2025!
Sincerely,
Ritesh Marupudi
