Think Change & CiC Launch!

Thank you for helping to make our CiC Launch Lunch, where we announced our "Empower Through Education" campaign a HUGE success! NetIP-NY is excited to partner with UNICEF Schools for Asia program and is striving to raise a $100,000 for Education. Over 50 guests enjoyed a wonderful 3 course lunch at the Michelin star rated Tulsi Restaurant, and helped raise several hundred dollars towards a great cause! Renita Bakshi, Co-President of NetIP-NY, introduced "Think Change" and "CiC", while Digant Dave (Co-President of NetIP-NY) talked about the importance of education and giving back.

Ananda Grant from UNICEF, US Foundation was on-hand to present information about UNICEF's Schools for Asia program, as part of their greater mission to aid the children of the world, and reduce preventable child deaths from 21,000 a day to 0. Sahara ONE was there to cover the event and and a special thanks to Surbhi Sahni from Bittersweet NYC for presenting complimentary sweets to all of our attendees.

Several upcoming events, including our Networking Happy Hour with South Asian MBA Association (SAMBAA) on April 19th, and evening with Preet Bharara on May 8th, co-sponsored by Columbia Business School Alumni Association, were also announced.
