In the bustling corridors of Washington D.C., one voice is reshaping the trajectory of conservative leadership with clarity, conviction, and courage—that of Saurabh Sharma, President of American Moment. With a sharp intellect, a bold vision, and a passionate belief in American exceptionalism, Sharma is not just a rising star—he’s a force powering a new ideological renaissance.
Born in Bangalore, India, and raised in the United States, Sharma embodies a deeply American journey. But his story is not merely one of immigration—it’s one of full integration, driven by the conscious choice to live as exclusively American. His unshakable belief in America’s values, culture, and pioneering spirit now fuels the mission of American Moment—a movement forging principled public servants for a future “America First” administration.
From Bengaluru to the Beltway: The Making of a Patriot Saurabh Sharma
Saurabh Sharma arrived in the U.S. at just three months old. While his roots trace back to India, his soul has always belonged to the United States. A brief return to India during his childhood only affirmed what he already knew deep down—his future was in the land of liberty.
Unlike many first-generation immigrants who oscillate between two identities, Sharma took a bold stance: no hyphenation, no dual allegiances. “I decided to be American,” he says unapologetically. That clarity has shaped his journey ever since—from college activism to national politics.
At the University of Texas at Austin, Saurabh Sharma’s leadership was already breaking ground. He became the youngest-ever State Chairman of Young Conservatives of Texas, a role that catapulted him into national conversations. His activism gained national attention when he was one of ten students invited to witness President Trump sign the Executive Order on free speech on college campuses in 2019.
American Moment by Saurabh Sharma: Engineering the Future of Conservative Leadership
As the President and co-founder of American Moment, Saurabh Sharma is building an infrastructure that many in Washington had long ignored—training the next generation of leaders grounded in nationalist, populist, and traditional conservative values. American Moment is not a think tank in the traditional sense; it’s a launchpad for ideas, careers, and ideologies that align with America First values.
By mentoring emerging staffers and connecting them to real-world policy opportunities, Saurabh Sharma has created a hub of young professionals committed to reshaping America’s future, not in ivory towers, but through action, service, and grounded principles.
What sets American Moment apart is its clear ideological focus. This isn’t a place for moderate fence-sitting or vague platitudes. Under Sharma’s leadership, it has become a bastion for those who believe in limited government, strong borders, cultural unity, and national sovereignty.
Beyond the Moment: Voices, Vision, and Values
Saurabh Sharma’s influence extends beyond organisational boundaries. As the co-host of the Moment of Truth podcast, he sparks candid and cutting-edge conversations on the philosophical, political, and cultural undercurrents driving the American Right. His ability to unpack complex topics—from trade and immigration to identity and nationalism—has earned him wide respect across the ideological spectrum.
Sharma’s written contributions to outlets like The American Mind, National Review, and The American Conservative showcase his deep understanding of conservative thought. But more importantly, they reflect a man deeply invested in America’s cultural and civilizational future.
As the executive director of the Edmund Burke Foundation and a central organizer of the National Conservatism Conference, Saurabh Sharma continues to forge a new intellectual backbone for conservatism in the 21st century—one that embraces tradition, roots, and the American pioneer spirit.
The Power of One: From Identity to Ideology
In an era obsessed with labels, hyphens, and categories, Saurabh Sharma dares to ask a simple but radical question: What if you chose to be just American?
His belief that America is not a “nation of immigrants” but a “nation of settlers” reflects a deep understanding of what made this country exceptional. To him, America’s greatness lies not in perpetual multiculturalism but in a shared civilizational identity—fueled by the courage to build, the willingness to sacrifice, and the determination to pass on something greater than oneself.
This philosophy has influenced his take on everything from trade policies to education, from federalism to immigration. In Sharma’s worldview, America must reclaim its pioneering ethos—its frontier spirit—to thrive in the next century.
