While Indian American organizations with diverse focuses such as entrepreneurship and philanthropy are doing fine work; Indiasporaa non-profit organization dedicated to unification Indian diaspora for a stronger, more connected life global communityis different and aims to be more versatile, Sanjeev Joshipurathe organization’s Washington DC-based executive director told the Times of India.
“We work with different organizations representing different groups of Native Americans in America. But we see a larger and more powerful role for our organization and our members are not only venture capitalists, technology CEOs, bankers and consultants by nature, but many also hail from outside the corporate world, representing the arts, media, science, politics, sports and different science,” said Joshipura, who was in New Delhi last week for Indiaspora’s G20 forum, which coincided with India’s G20 presidency.
The organization, founded 11 years ago in America, now has the ambitious goal of inspiring and positioning the global Indian diaspora to be a force for good and to build bridges between diaspora leaders in different countries and different professions and leaders in India build. “We want to become the Davos of the Global Indians,” said Joshipura.
While America is the strongest base for the organization, it is also expanding rapidly worldwide. “We had participants from 26 countries at our G20 event. Our active work now extends to eight countries, including Australia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Canada and Israel, as well as India and the United States,” said Joshipura.
As people of Indian descent become influential in areas of public policy and politics; Indiaspora’s leadership focuses on how best to translate the success and impact of the global Indian community into positive societal impact. “We focus on being impact-oriented and not just bragging about the success stories of the Indian diaspora in business, politics and other fields. Areas we are working on with both the Indian diaspora and prominent leaders in India include entrepreneurship, philanthropy, broader civic engagement, engagement with the next generation and climate change,” said Joshipura.
As more Indians become influential elected officials around the world; Indiaspora sees this as an important role in driving future direction. “It is important for our organization to remain aware of the history, socio-political and cultural elements and differences of the Indian diaspora in different countries. In each country, the priorities of the Indian community are different. As we expand globally, we also need to pay attention to local nuances and local flavors,” said Joshipura.
He added that while early Indian immigrants in the US and many other countries focused on financial security, they achieved good success in businesses and businesses; Community members now diversified into various new fields, including politics, arts, and sports. “Many now have the comfort of diversifying into new areas, and while not all of them become millionaires; Many work for the global good of society,” Joshipura said.
