Massachusetts, Boston, USA: Nilesh Agrawal and Deepak Garg, the newly elected leaders of the India Association of Greater Boston (IAGB), have set their sights on youth empowerment, civic partnerships, and broader community engagement as their key priorities.
The association elected its new Executive Committee for the 2025–2027 term during the Annual General Body Meeting held on September 13. In this election, Nilesh Agrawal was chosen as President and Deepak Garg as Vice President.
