In partnership with

Namaste, Brown Girl.

Grab your chai, settle in, and take your seat at The Desi Table—the first brown girl business newsletter written by brown girls, for brown girls.

After all the love on our launch issue, we’re doubling down - and going bi-weekly! That means twice the brown girl stories, twice the brown girl news, and twice the spice in your inbox. 💌

This week’s edition is a love letter to the brown women reshaping what leadership, power, and community look like—from founders shaking up industries to angels rewriting investing norms.

Let’s get into it. ☕️

Brown girls in the headlines, on the shelves, and running the boardroom.

🧋Brown girl-founded wellness energy drink Georgie just landed on Target shelves. Hydration? Check. Representation in aisle 12? Double check.

👁️ Another win for BGA portfolio company Sahajan - they just got a beauty nod for their bestselling eye cream. Puffiness? Never heard of her.

💰 Ruchi Sanghvi (ex-Facebook) just closed a $275M Fund III for South Park Commons—a founder centric fund that means early-stage builders can stop rushing and actually build something worthwhile.

🏆 Founder, investor, mother—Reshma Saujani teamed up with Marie Claire to remind us who’s really running things. (Spoiler: it’s still moms). Want more brown girl wins? Check out our full May round up.

📺 Your fave Netflix binge-watch? Brought to you by Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Head of Content and a certified brown girl in power. She’s on Fortune’s 2025 Most Powerful Women’s List with these other South Asian powerhouses.

🩸The Brown Girl Founders Club: Period Edition🩸

May 28th was World Menstrual Hygiene Day and we spotlighted South Asian women changing the cycle—literally. From compostable pads to vaginal microbiome tests, these brown girl founders are building smarter, safer, and stigma-free solutions for every stage of our cycles.

angel investing 101

Log kya kahenge? Turns out… they had great things to say.

Our first-ever angel investing course wrapped last month—and the reviews are in:

💬 “Angel investing feels way more accessible since doing this course.”

💬 “The educational aspect was empowering.”

💬 “I loved this course not only for the content, but also for the community.”

Our next course isn’t until the fall, but that doesn’t mean you should wait. Because for too long, South Asian women have been taught to leave money matters to the brown boys - and we’re done waiting.

We’re building a collective of South Asian women who want to invest with intention—backing the next generation of brown girl founders with capital, connection, and community.

Whether you’re a seasoned investor, just curious, or done waiting for permission - this space is for you. Explore our BGA Memberships to learn how to get started.

🎙 I had the pleasure of being a guest on The Wellthy Woman Podcast with Huda Alvi. We got real about life after divorce, what no one tells you about the “sexyness” of angel investing, and why I’m so committed to funding the next wave of brown girl founders. Tune in if you’re curious about the unfiltered side of investing, reinvention, and doing it all with purpose.
