About NetSAP Boston
One of the most prominent organizations in New-England, The Network of South Asian Professionals of Boston (NetSAP-Boston) is a professional, not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving the professional, political, cultural and civic needs of the Indian and South Asian community in the Greater Boston area.
A chapter of Network of Indian Professionals (NetIP-North America) and founded in 1995, NetSAP-Boston reaches out to a network of over 3000 professionals in the New-England region and over 40,000 professionals in the US and Canada through 22 other chapters.
We provide a forum for South Asian professionals to socialize with each other, network for career advancement and communicate about business, socio-cultural trends and political issues. Through our alliance partnership program we unite and bring several non-profit organizations in New England together.
