From 4 AM training walks in Karnal to the main card of Anthony Joshua's return in Jeddah, Nishant Dev — Olympic captain, World Championships bronze medalist, and now 7-0 as a professional — is on a mission to become something India has never had: a professional boxing world champion. Signed to Matchroom Boxing and backed by his brother Siddharth who gave up his own career to support him in Houston, Nishant's story is as much about family sacrifice as it is about sport.

Indiaspora was delighted to host a farewell dinner in honor of Dr. Srikar Reddy Koppula, Consul General of India in San Francisco, as members, including Indiaspora Board Member Arun Kumar, came together to celebrate his time in the Bay Area. Dr. Reddy has been a good friend and a steadfast advocate for the Indian diaspora, building bridges between India and the Indian diaspora community in the US, particularly in San Francisco.

As a small token of appreciation for someone who has become such an important part of the city, we presented him with the definitive coffee-table book on San Francisco. We wish him great success in his next role as India's Ambassador to Qatar. Indiaspora was represented by Founder and Chair MR Rangaswami and Senior Director of Development, Manasi Dharne.

CEO Shamin Mehrotra, who joined Ummeed in 2003 and raised a child with ADHD herself, reflects on the organization's core belief: that meaningful change happens when entire families, schools, and systems are supported, not just the child.
