AUT South Indian Student Association

We started AUTSISA because something was missing at AUT — clubs exist for Indian students broadly and for Hindu students, but nothing speaks to the Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam languages and traditions many of us grew up with. We wanted a space where South Indian students, whether from India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, or Singapore, feel truly at home, and where anyone curious about our culture is welcome to join in — through festivals like Pongal, Ugadi, Diwali, and Onam, food, movie nights, and community for new and international students. We're not here to compete with existing clubs, just to celebrate what makes South Indian culture special, and to team up with AUTISA, the Hindu Club, and others along the way.
