India Currents is the voice of the Indian American. Our mission is to tell critical, relevant, and innovative stories to inform and educate our audience, and amplify the achievements of Indian Americans nationwide. Through responsible reporting and collaborative community activities we also aim to promote civic engagement in the practice of democracy.
We aim to chronicle and curate Indian American stories in diverse and fascinating ways for years to come.
What do we do?
Authentic Story-telling: We provide relevant stories told by the Indian American community in their own voices and fill the geographic and topical gaps left by mainstream media companies.
Over the past three decades we have created a vast reservoir of immigrant experiences which are of great interest to all Americans, new immigrants, educational institutions as well as government organizations.
Community Engagement: We actively build partnerships with ethnic media organizations on projects to amplify important initiatives for community education. We collaborate with cultural organizations to showcase the art and culture of India to all Americans.
Building the Future: We mentor and train the next generation of Indian American journalists through internships and writing opportunities.
