Born in Thrissur, Kerala, Nithya Raman has defeated incumbent Karen Bass to become Los Angeles’ first Indian-American and the first South Asian woman to lead the city.

Nithya is an academically gifted woman and she’s also a Harvard and MIT graduate. She had earlier worked with NGOs in Delhi, and Chennai as she’s a strong social activist by nature.

In her victory address, she vowed to make housing affordable, improve public safety and build a government that works for ordinary people.
