Our story

Asian American women, including those of South Asian descent, make up less than 1% of promotions from senior vice president to C-suite roles, as reported by McKinsey & Co.

More than just a network, SALUTE represents a movement towards a future where South Asian women's leadership is normalized and valued. The organization is focused on contributing to a world where diversity in leadership is not just acknowledged, but is a celebrated standard.

Membership in SALUTE is inclusive and open to anyone who identifies as a female or a woman, aligning with the organization's commitment to diversity and inclusion. As SALUTE continues to grow and evolve, it remains open to learning from its journey, supported by a community that values feedback and collective advancement.
