About South Asians in Sports

Our mission is to connect, amplify, and advocate for South Asians in the sports industry. We provide access to networking, mentorship, educational programming, and community to enable thriving careers in sports.

We envision a sports industry where South Asians are represented at every level - from the field to the front office, breaking barriers and leading with impact. Through thought leadership, community, storytelling, education and visibility we aim to build an influential ecosystem in sports.
