Ashwin Yeddula
President DIFKGermany has been my home since 1998, I have literally experienced, Indians migrating to germany from 0s to 1000s. In the midst, the need for creating home after home was imminent. With this ambition, we established the platform for the community to pursue their hobbies, cultures and traditions, while integrating into the society here.
At DIFK, I ensure the association runs smooth, stable, consistent and fair, and promote growth to support the ever emerging needs of the community.

I moved to Germany from Hyderabad, India after getting married in 2003. Since then, having seen less to no opportunities to practice cultures/traditions, I felt the great need for the drive to exchange cultures.I’m passionate about, bringing people together and provide an opportunity for all, to practice and promote cultures & traditions.
At DIFK, I hold the responsibility of planning, coordinating cultural activities and managing our cultural events, and participation in external events.
