DesiClub honors South Asians across the globe with their annual Top 50 Coolest Desis list each year. The 2013 list was their biggest yet as the online portal celebrates10 years of highlighting Indians leading in the mainstream market.
DesiClub’s Top 50 Coolest Desis list is one of the most anticipated lists of the year and this year crowned Miss America, Nina Davuluri in the #1 position. Nina graced the cover of ANOKHI Magazine’s Fashion & Style, Dec 2013 Issue.
“There is a such positive feeling being a part of a generation, which will be remembered for reshaping the American, actually the global landscape in all careers and facets of life, from business, science to entertainment and everything in between. When I set out to publish this list ten years ago, I had no idea the impact it would have. It is humbling and I am very proud of our community and its accomplishments,” says Founder of DesiClub, Saroosh Gull.
For the past 10 years, Desiclub's Top 50 Coolest Desis list has acknowledged community leaders, actors, business visionaries and political aspirants for breaking into the mainstream. DesiClub celebrates the success of individuals in a wide spectrum of careers and achievements. While Nina topped the 2013 list for her title as Miss America, Aasif Mandvi comes in 2nd for his work as an actor and comedian. The number three spot is awarded to California activist Saru Jayaraman. Mindy Kaling comes in fourth for her various contributions to mainstream entertainment and Techprenuer Vivek Ranadive completes the top five.
Each year women dominate the list and this year is no different with Journalist Sabrina Siddiqui, Social media whiz Shama Kabani, Singer Falu Shah, TV Anchor Joya Dass, Filmmaker Valarie Kaur and PR expert Neerja Patel all place in the top 25 spots.
DesiClub’s extensive list also carries many household names such as Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, Actor Kunal Nayyar, Comedian Aziz Ansari, and also acknowledges offscreen geniuses such as Time Warner Exec Dinni Jain, SVP for IMG, Bobby Sharma and Paul Allen’s newly appointed TechAdvisor, Parag Garg.
