A win-win for India & Indian Americans
Hindustan TimesIf you have watched the movie Swades, you might remember a scene where NASA scientist Mohan Bhargav, Shah Rukh Khan’s character, is introduced to members of the village panchayat. The economic impact of Indian Americans extends beyond big business to the startup world as well, co-founding 72 out of 648 US unicorns operating in 2024. Over time Indian Americans have gained skills and experience and built networks that can become the foundation for fostering meaningful knowledge transfer and innovation in India. The Indian government’s recent policy measures aim to ensure that the benefits of economic growth reach all sectors and all sections of society, and the Indian American community is uniquely positioned to complement these efforts. Going back to Swades for a moment, the village elders’ comical oversimplification of Mohan’s job notwithstanding, throughout the movie his character tries to work with the community to make their lives better, in big and small ways.
