CitySaheli was founded by girlfriends that have spent more than a decade living, breathing and experiencing all that New York City has to offer. We are professional South Asian American women who have seen a rapid growth of women like ourselves in New York City. We couldn’t find one website that catered to our demographic. And so began CitySaheli, an online community for the savvy South Asian woman.
We want to be the link for South Asian American women to see what’s out there in New York and beyond. Most importantly, we want to hear from you, our sahelis. We love feedback! So please send us article ideas, opinions, experiences and questions. Also posting in our forums will help build this community. The more you share, the better CitySaheli will be for you.
Welcome to CitySaheli!
P.S. We promise to give you our very honest opinions…nothing we write about or recommend is sponsored.
