Valerian Fernandes
Hey there! I’m Valerian, part techie, part foodie, and full-time adventurer. I come from the laid-back village of Asnora in Bardez, Goa, but I’ve been calling Koramangala, Bangalore home since 2003. When I’m not deep in decks and demos, you’ll probably find me cooking up something Goan with my better half at Maria’s Goan Kitchen, or riding out with the crew from the Honda Beer Riding Club.President
Craig Faria
Hi im Craig Faria, although I was born and brought up in Bangalore, I originally hail from Candolim. I wear two hats: one as a dedicated real estate consultant, and the other as an experienced event management professional. As a third generation KGA member, I am passionate about community, culture, and great conversations, I take pride in combining professionalism with a personal touch, making every deal smoother and every event unforgettable.Vice-President
Nikita Pereira
Hi! I'm Nikita, and I'm from the lovely village of Tivim in Goa. I absolutely love baking, swimming, and dancing — they’re my go-to ways to unwind and have fun! My kitchen is usually buzzing with the smell of something sweet, often inspired by Goa’s amazing food traditions. My little passions keep me grounded, happy, and always ready to bring a smile to someone’s day.Hon. Secretary
Bosco Andrade
Bosco Andrade here — back again on the MC (yes, again... I’ve lost count too!). Every time I think I’ll take a breather and put my feet up, the floor has other plans — and I somehow get “promoted” to continue! But hey, when you’re doing it with passion, good vibes, and for a community you love, how can you say no?Hon. Treasurer
Maria D’Souza
Hi, I’m Maria D’Souza! Originally from the bustling city of Mapusa in Goa, I’ve called Bangalore home for many years now. I’m married to Nagaratnam Satish, and we have a wonderful son, Pranav, who keeps life interesting (and on our toes!). Fun fact — my family was part of the KGA way back before we moved to Goa in 1986, so in many ways, this feels like a full-circle moment.Committee Member
Savio Lamb
Hi, I’m Savio Allan Lamb — half Goan, half Anglo, and a full-on believer in the Susegad way of life! While I might be a teetotaler (yes, you read that right!), I’ve definitely got that classic Goan spirit — especially when it comes to dancing! Outside of books and briefs, you’ll find me on the field — I love playing hockey, football, badminton, and my latest obsession: pickleball!Committee Member
Monica Robinson
I’ve been a proud KGA member for about 25 years now, with my Goan roots tracing back to my maternal grandparents from the charming villages of Uccassaim and Aldona. Once a professional secretary, I now enjoy the fulfilling role of a home-maker and volunteer at a day care. What really lights me up? Sharing creative ways to use craft and handwork as a form of therapy — because a little creativity goes a long way.Committee Member
Sheila Browne
Hi! I’m Sheila Marline Browne, originally from Margao in South Goa. I’ve been part of the KGA family for over 31 years now. I spent close to 30 years as a teacher, and it was a truly rewarding journey. I enjoy cooking, baking, doing a bit of social work, offering English coaching for foreign students, and most of all, anything to do with music, singing, and dancing!Committee Member
