Championing South Asian leaders in sports
South Asians in Sports is the premier global network of mid-senior level South Asian professionals who are shaping the future of the sports industry. Founded in 2016 with the mission to elevate representation and create meaningful connections, our community brings together executives, entrepreneurs, athletes, agents, creatives, media talent, and industry changemakers of South Asian descent who are breaking barriers and leading at the highest levels of sport.
Our members represent a powerful cross-section of the industry - from front offices of major leagues and federations, to broadcast studios, to Olympic podiums. They are driving strategy, leading innovation, and creating impact across teams, brands, agencies, startups, media platforms, and athletic competition.
