South Asian Supper Club in NYC featuring Pooja Kothari and Sophie Malik

Join us for an intimate South Asian Supper Club hosted by  Pooja Kothari and Sophie Malik to bring our community together in New York City.

We’ll come together for meaningful connection and a shared meal in a warm, welcoming setting.

About our Hosts:

Pooja Kothari is the founder of Boundless Awareness, an equity and anti-oppression consulting firm that helps organizations create honest, inclusive cultures. A former public defender turned facilitator, she brings empathy, rigor, and lived experience to every space she leads.

As a queer, first-generation South Asian woman and parent of two, Pooja draws from her own intersections to inspire others to live authentically and lead with courage.

Sophie Malik is a leadership and organizational consultant who helps capable people make clear decisions about careers, leadership and teams.

After 15+ years leading People strategy across the US, UK and EU (clean energy through M&A, ed tech through IPO, video games through international expansion), she now runs her own practice, coaches at the New York Public Library, and writes a newsletter about work and the stories we tell ourselves about it. British-American with Pakistani roots, she spent 12 years in London before landing in Brooklyn, and believes most career questions are really decisions in disguise.
