Testimonials
We've made a big difference for our members
“I’m not kidding when I tell you that SAIS has legitimately opened up five separate doors for me…all within just a few months.”
“I want to be a supportive member of this community in hopes of helping someone, anyone who may be interested in sports as a vertical or the various industries within sports that I may be able to lend some insight or expertise. We are blessed to have people from different walks of life, backgrounds, and experiences in the group and I enjoy getting to learn from other member and learn their perspectives.”
“There is strength in numbers. It has been great to see more and more Indians enter the industry and do so well. So much of this business and every business really is networking. If we can leverage our South Asian connections, that will lead to a host of benefits.”
“We actually connected because I posted about South Asians in Sports on LinkedIn, she saw it, and she reached out. We didn’t even know we worked in the same building all this time! Another great outcome of this group.”
“South Asians in Sports provides unique access to individuals who have worked in some respectable positions in the sports & entertainment industry. It also allows you to grow your contacts and network with new faces in an informal setting.”
“South Asians in Sports has introduced me to people I would not meet otherwise.”
“Frankly, I’d liked this page only because as a far far away cousin I wanted to contribute in whatever way I could and at that time little did I know that I was going to be pursuing a career in the field of sports. Now, after so many years of being a part of this group and constantly being abreast by latest articles,news about sports, I couldn’t have been happier about associating with the group. Of late, I also participated in your Mentorship Monday’s program as I would be moving to Canada by early next year. Although, my mentor Avish couldn’t proceed after the 1st session. This association and interaction left me feeling more confident, I felt like I have a family to fall back on in Canada. So really is actually an appreciation post, thank you for giving all of us this sense of community and belongingness, look forward to growing with fellow SAIS.”
