Presidents, South Asian Business Association

2025–2026

Dear Marshall community,

We are honored to serve as the Presidents of the South Asian Business Association (SABA) for the 2025–2026 academic year. Building on the strong foundation laid by previous leaders, we are excited to continue shaping SABA into a space that celebrates culture, fosters professional growth, and creates meaningful connections across the Marshall community.

This year, our vision is anchored in three pillars: Career, Culture, and Connection. On the professional front, we aim to strengthen career development opportunities for our members by introducing industry-focused mentorship programs, collaborating with professional clubs such as HTA and MCSC, and engaging alumni across companies like Amazon, Amgen, and ServiceNow. These initiatives will prepare our members to thrive in a competitive recruiting environment while ensuring they have access to tailored guidance and networking.

On the cultural side, we remain committed to celebrating our vibrant heritage through large-scale events such as Diwali, Holi, and Eid, while also creating new spaces for casual connection—be it Bollywood-themed gatherings, sports screenings, or our signature “Tandoori Nights.” These events will not only strengthen bonds within our community but also invite the broader Marshall family to experience the richness of South Asian culture.

Finally, connection lies at the heart of SABA. From early outreach to incoming students, to collaborations with UCLA and other SABA chapters across California, and to laying the groundwork for IndiaCon 2026, our goal is to expand SABA’s reach and create an ecosystem of support that extends beyond campus and into industry.

With the passion of our members, the energy of our board, and the strength of our community, we are confident that this year will be one of growth, celebration, and impact. We invite everyone to join us in making this an unforgettable year for SABA.

Fight On!
