Chandra Wagh

Son, Husband, Father, Friend, Community Leader, Technologist, Entrepreneur

Growing up in a small Indian village with only an elementary school, I walked miles each day to continue my education, motivated by my single mother's steadfast belief in its power to change lives. Her sacrifices allowed me to earn an MS degree in Software Systems from BITS Pilani. In 1999, I moved to Fremont to pursue the American Dream.

I’ve built a career in tech startups, Cisco, and now Workday. I am the Bay Area chapter president of the nonprofit Circle of Consciousness & Happiness. I have used my program management expertise to organize community and charity events. My wife, a small business owner, and I are deeply invested in the future of our community. Our two children—a medical student and a student at Ohlone College—share this commitment as well.

I want to address Fremont’s challenges, including public safety, the increasing homeless population, traffic congestion, and declining student opportunities. I also want to enhance our parks and promote mixed-use development. Fremont needs a strong, visionary leader to address fundamental issues—not a career politician.

Vote Chandra Wagh, Fremont City Council District-5, for a safe, thriving, and vibrant Fremont.
