ORLANDO: Four Indians are among 32 young leaders named by a prestigious global non-profit organization as its 2015 class of young leaders, focused on shaping a brighter future for the Asia-Pacific region and confronting the most vexing challenges facing the region. Mishi Choudhary, Sanjay Vijayakumar, Aarti Wig and Manish Dahiya have been named the Asia 21 Young Leaders by New York-based Asia Society in its leadership program that identifies and brings together Asia-Pacific’s top leaders under 40.

In its tenth year, the Asia 21 Young Leaders Initiative is a robust network of more than 800 young leaders from 30 nations. “They are all in their own ways focused on shaping a brighter future for the Asia-Pacific region, and confronting the most vexing challenges facing the region today,” the organisation said in a statement. Choudhary is a technology lawyer and an online civil liberties activist. She is the founding executive director of SFLC.in, a pro-bono legal services organization based in New Delhi that focuses on free speech and expression, privacy, software patents, network neutrality, internet governance and access to knowledge.
