NEW YORK (TIP): At Indiaspora, a nonprofit U.S. based organization of global Indian diaspora leaders across diverse professions, we take great pride in our deep bonds with both the United States—our homeland—and India—our country of origin. With over 5 million Indian Americans contributing meaningfully to the U.S. economy, culture, and civic life, the diaspora serves as a living bridge between the world’s two largest democracies. The Indian diaspora in America are key contributors to making the relationship between the countries unique, special, deep rooted and impactful.

Over the past several decades, this community has helped cultivate vital connections across business, technology, academia, philanthropy, and the arts. At Indiaspora, we have convened high level people to people dialogues in both nations for more than a decade to foster mutual understanding and collaboration.

We believe the U.S.-India relationship is not just important—it is essential. As global dynamics shift, this economic partnership should stand as a cornerstone for stability, innovation, and progress in the 21st century.

We believe that the current setback in what is otherwise an enduring, robust and broad-based people to people relationship will be temporary. We remain optimistic that the ongoing discussions, when concluded, will reflect the aspirations of both nations and the global Indian diaspora that believes in them.
