The University of Strathclyde is mourning the sudden loss of an “ambitious and inspiring” student who died just one day before her 23rd birthday.

Sravanthi Karingula, a postgraduate student pursuing a Master’s degree in business administration and management, died on Monday 13th January, following an accident, according to her family.

Originally from Hyderabad, India, Sravanthi had moved to Glasgow to pursue her dreams of academic success and career advancement.

Her cousin, Latha Reddy, described her as “a bright and determined young woman” who had a deep passion for her studies and a commitment to making her family proud.

“Sravanthi came to Glasgow with dreams of building a bright future and making her family proud,” said Latha. “Tragically, her journey was cut short, leaving her family and loved one in immense grief. Her family wishes to bring her back home to India for her final rites and to honour her memory in accordance with their traditions.”

According to Glasgow Live, the university community has expressed profound sadness at her untimely death. Mouhamad Shaker Ali Agha, Programme Director for business analysis and consulting at Strathclyde’s Business School, paid tribute to Sravanthi, saying: “The University community is deeply saddened by the death of Sravanthi.

“She was a source of inspiration and positivity for everyone around her. Her passion for learning, kindness, and dedication was very obvious, and she will remain in the hearts of her lecturers and colleagues. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this very difficult time.”

Her classmates at the university also spoke of the impact she had on those around her. Zara Patel, a fellow postgraduate student said: “Sravanthi was always so kind and supportive. She had this incredible energy that brightened everyone’s day. It’s heartbreaking to lose someone so full of potential.”
