Opinion: Diaspora - A Driving Force Behind India's G20 Success
NDTV
As part of India's G20 presidency, which culminates in a mega summit of world leaders this weekend, Indiaspora's G20 forum in August featured 300 trailblazers of the Indian diaspora from 26 countries.
The Indiaspora forum, looking to emerge as the "Davos for the Global Indian", explored how the diaspora can contribute to the success of "India@100" in the year 2047. The participants included ambassadors, cabinet secretaries, investors, entrepreneurs, corporate titans, philanthropists, academics, artists, healthcare practitioners, next generation torchbearers, AI savants and environmental experts.
Indiaspora, a non-profit founded in the US in 2012, works actively in eight countries and seeks to establish strong relationships in at least 20 more. We count among us political and public policy leaders, Fortune 500 CEOs, academicians, artists, legal luminaries, doctors, scientists, investors, environmentalists and, of course, entrepreneurs. People of Indian origin are even starting to make a headway in the American sporting arena, which was so far a scarcely considered vocation for most of us.
