The Immigrant Academy, formerly known as ‘Desi Girl in US’ was started by Anjali Nair when she found a huge gap to address the unique challenges of Immigrants, Expats and international students in America. As a new immigrant, it takes several years to learn by trial and error, and yet many feel like they are foreigners. Imagine what your immigrant life would look like if you had the right roadmap, resources and role models who could make your immigrant journey a little easier?

There are a few local nonprofits that help with the settlement of refugees and then there are individual service providers and communities for women to support with their career, communication and like-mindedness. But there wasn’t ONE platform that inclusively catered to the Skilled Immigrant community, solving the challenges one milestone at a time.
