Indiaspora Forum 2026

Diaspora Impact Report

We are proud to release ‘India and its Diaspora: Partners in Progress’, a major new report examining the expanding role of the global Indian diaspora in shaping India’s future across business, culture, philanthropy, innovation, and the arts. With more than 35 million people of Indian heritage living in over 200 countries with an estimated annual income of $USD 730 billion, the Indian diaspora is the largest in the world and one of the most influential. The report highlights how this community is evolving from a traditional source of remittances into a powerful force of capital, capability, and credibility helping accelerate India’s rise as it pursues its India@100 vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047.

The report features quotes from distinguished leaders, including Indra Nooyi, Former Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo; Romesh Wadhwani, Chairman of the Wadhwani Foundation; Vinod Khosla, Founder of Khosla Ventures; and many other notable figures.
