The Indiaspora Inaugural Ball 2013 served as a platform to highlight the growing influence and contributions of the Indian American community in the United States. We had 1,300 Indian American attendees from across the country, which caught the attention and admiration of American politicians. The event drew attendance from prominent figures such as Maya Soetoro-Ng (President Obama’s half-sister), Congressman Ami Bera (the third Indian-American lawmaker in Congress), Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (the first Hindu lawmaker), and Kamala Harris (California’s Attorney General). The ball featured Indian-American cuisine, culture, music, and entertainment

What Our Community Says

Indiaspora’s focus on civic engagement for the Diaspora community is crucial now more than ever, bringing together voices from diverse backgrounds to foster dialogue and action.

Navin Chaddha

Managing Director, Mayfield Fund

I like engaging with Indiaspora for many reasons, one being their emphasis on philanthropy and social impact. They are committed to increasing the amount and effectiveness of philanthropy by the Diaspora.

I love being involved with Indiaspora because it’s an eclectic and powerful community of diverse thought leaders from around the world. Nowhere else would you find a venture capitalist, a scientist, a politician, an author, a corporate executive, and an Indian classical musician sharing and exchanging ideas!
