Sayu Bhojwani Biography
Dr. Sayu Bhojwani is a civic entrepreneur, political scientist, and democracy futurist whose career centers on advancing a more inclusive and representative United States. Appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg as New York City's first Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs, Bhojwani expanded protections and services for undocumented immigrants, domestic workers, and non-English speakers. This role reinforced her commitment to representative government and shaped her ongoing civic leadership in immigrant rights, political participation, and diversity in government.
Bhojwani began her work as a social entrepreneur with the founding of South Asian Youth Action, the first U.S. organization dedicated to supporting youth from the Indian subcontinent. She later founded New American Leaders, serving as president for 10 years and helping to recruit more than 500 first- and second-generation Americans to run for and serve in local, state, and federal office. She also established Women's Democracy Lab to support women of color and Indigenous women after elections. These organizations reflect Bhojwani's dedication to increasing representation and equity in American democracy.
Bhojwani is the author of "People Like Us: The New Wave of Candidates Knocking at Democracy's Door," published by The New Press. Her TED talk addresses the role of immigrants in American democracy, and her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. CQ Roll Call recognized her as a notable figure outside of Washington, D.C. She also shares insights on women's leadership, immigration, and democracy through her Substack, "No. 1 Immigrant Daughter."
As principal of Collective Future Consulting, Bhojwani advises organizations, women leaders, and donors on strategies for building a more reflective and inclusive society. She serves as a Leader in Residence at the Moynihan Center at the City University of New York and as a guest host for "Our Body Politic." Bhojwani served on the Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship, convened by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is a board member of the Center for Fiction and the North Star Fund. As an Open Society Foundations Equality Fellow, she focused on supporting women leaders of color and received the Groundswell Inaugural Vanguard Award. Bhojwani holds a doctorate in politics and education from Columbia University, where her research examined immigrant political participation.
