MR Rangaswami, Founder and Chairman of Indiaspora, said: “On behalf of Indiaspora and the Indian-American community, I’d like to congratulate President Trump as the 47th President of the United States. We are pleased that the Indian American community is more politically engaged and are proud of the diaspora voices in American politics today.”
Indiaspora has been actively engaged in non-partisan political engagement since its founding in 2012. It brings together leaders from diverse backgrounds and professions who are committed to inspiring the diaspora to be a force for positive impact by providing a platform to collaborate, engage, and catalyze social change.
President Trump’s second-term administration highlights the growing influence of Indian-Americans, with key appointments across civil rights, national security, and technology. Indiaspora also congratulated Indian American appointees in the new administration, including Harmeet Kaur Dhillon, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kash Patel, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Sriram Krishnan.
“It is heartening to see every successive American administration, regardless of political party, place Indian-Americans in senior roles in government, and the incoming Trump administration has continued this trend,” said Sanjeev Joshipura, Indiaspora’s Executive Director. “Two of Indiaspora’s key focus areas over the years have been our efforts to increase the Indian diaspora’s civic and political engagement in a nonpartisan manner, and to strengthen US-India ties.”
“Indiaspora is poised to continue playing a role in catalyzing bilateral dialogues, just as we did in New Delhi and Houston during the previous Trump administration,” he added.
MR Rangaswami said he expected US-India relations to continue flourishing in the new political climate in America. “The senior most government officials on both sides have established strong relationships during President Trump’s first term, and there is strong bipartisan support in the United States to further this important bilateral relationship.”
