One of the greatest resources of SAIV is our South Asian InterVarsity staff. They are devoted to Jesus, obsessed with His Word, and long for the world to be transformed through Christ and the university.
SAIV staff come from diverse South Asian ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds, serve all over the country and at all levels of InterVarsity. Interested in connecting with an SAIV staff in your area?

Meet the SAIV Director - Arul Karunanidhi
Arul is a third-culture kid having grown up in Australia, South India and the U.S. He graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in molecular biology and instead of pursuing medical studies decided to join InterVarsity staff. Arul enjoys starting new things and shortly after coming on staff planted an SAIV movement at his alma mater. During his time there, he helped create the Faith and Chai event that has spread around the country and inspired a podcast. As InterVarsity increasingly serves South Asian students from various faith backgrounds Arul started the SAIV support network to aid them in their faith journeys.
Arul is humbled to oversee the continued growth of the national SAIV movement and to see this generation of South Asian students passionately worshipping Jesus, embodying Him in their communities, and becoming a blessing to the world. Arul lives with his wife and sons in Orlando, FL.
