A 22-year-old Indian student from Karnataka, Saketh Sreenivasaiah, has been reported missing in California.
He was last seen on February 9 near Lake Anza in the Berkeley Hills, where he is pursuing a master’s degree at the University of California, Berkeley. The Consulate General of India in San Francisco confirmed that it is coordinating with Sreenivasaiah’s family and local authorities to locate him. In a tweet, the consulate said it is “deeply concerned” about his disappearance and is actively following up with the Berkeley Police Department.
Sreenivasaiah’s roommate, Baneet Singh, also appealed for help on LinkedIn, urging anyone with information to come forward. “If anyone in my network knows people in the area who have seen him recently, please reach out to me. I’m working with the police desperately to make sure we find him. It’s a hard time for us right now,” Singh wrote.
Sreenivasaiah hails from Karnataka and holds a BTech in Chemical Engineering from IIT Madras, graduating in 2025. He is currently enrolled in the master’s program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at UC Berkeley.
The Berkeley Police Department has described him as approximately 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing around 160 pounds (73 kg). Authorities continue to investigate and are asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact them immediately.
