Our mission is to empower the Indian diaspora in the United States and around the world with accurate, unbiased, and comprehensive information about the socioeconomic and political realities of India. We are committed to fostering a deeper understanding of India's challenges and opportunities among diaspora members, enabling them to make informed decisions, engage in meaningful dialogue, and actively participate in efforts to drive positive change.
India's diaspora is the world’s largest, numbering a staggering 32 million individuals. If the Indian diaspora were an independent country, it would be larger than three-quarters of all others. Approximately 5 million of us have chosen the United States as their home. Members of the Indian diaspora now occupy the highest echelons of many major global corporations, as well as several of the world’s most powerful governments.
Indians living in the US feel a strong connection to their Indian identity. We are proud of where we come from and the values we carry with us. India House is a platform to celebrate these values of hard work, integrity, humility, tolerance, and diversity. We envision a highly informed diaspora that can serve as a powerful voice for India – both in how it is represented to the rest of the world, and in supporting an India that lives up to its promise as a democratic beacon to the world.
To that end, India House aims to engage the American Indian diaspora on issues that matter to them, through objective, thoughtful, and accurate information. We are building a community that is connected, highly engaged, and works together for a stronger India – economically and socially rooted in a commitment with India’s constitutional values.
