The Indian-American community is drawing the attention of Americans in the academic and professional sectors. In a fresh development, two prominent figures of the Indian-American community were elected to prestigious roles at Harvard University. The CEO of streaming platform Tubi, Anjali Sud, has been elected as a member of Harvard University’s Board of Overseers, one of the university’s two governing boards. She will serve the remaining two years of the unexpired term of Mark Carney, the former Governor of the Bank of Canada, who stepped down from the board on March 9. Sud is born to Punjabi immigrant parents in Detroit in 1983. In 2011, she completed her MBA from Harvard Business School. She worked in top positions in various companies, including Amazon, Time Warner, and Vimeo. Currently, she serves as the chair of the board at Change.org and is a board member at Dolby Laboratories. She is also part of the executive committee of the development board at Phillips Academy Andover. At the Harvard University, the Board of Overseers plays a crucial role in the governance of the varsity. Along with Sud’s appointment, Sanjay Seth, a climate and sustainability expert, has been elected as one of the new directors of the Harvard Alumni Association (HAA). Sud and Seth’s appointments are a testament to the increasing influence of Indian-American community in the US.
