Following the recent trade negotiations between the United States and India, Indiaspora released the following statement. Indiaspora, a nonprofit organization, unites global leaders of Indian origin from diverse backgrounds and professions who are committed to inspiring the diaspora to be a force for good by providing a platform to collaborate, build community engagement, and catalyze social change.
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.
