Indiaspora, a Silicon Valley-based nonprofit dedicated to mobilizing the Indian diaspora for global impact, has announced the launch of the Indiaspora Forum for Good (IFG), which aims to foster innovation and collaboration among diaspora leaders to create impactful models for the world.
This multi-day forum will be held in Abu Dhabi and Dubai from February 23-26, 2025, uniting leaders from business, technology, healthcare, academia, and the arts to address pressing global challenges such as climate change and healthcare.
Key sessions will take place at iconic venues, including the Museum of the Future in Dubai, Abu Dhabi's Louvre Museum, and the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental.
Indian actor and philanthropist Vivek Oberoi will serve as the forum’s ambassador in the UAE. “Indiaspora's Forum for Good is a celebration of the shared roots, and collective vision of the Indian diaspora. It’s inspiring to see so many leaders come together to exchange ideas and work towards building a brighter future, while staying authentic to the Indian ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam meaning ‘The world is one family,” Oberoi said.
“IFG represents the power of collective action and innovation within the global Indian diaspora. This forum is a testament to the diaspora’s unique ability to serve as a bridge among cultures, fostering transformative ideas into lasting impact,”said MR Rangaswami, founder of Indiaspora.
Partnering with Dubai Future Foundation, the forum will feature sessions on artificial intelligence, climate action, and entrepreneurship. Alia Al Mur, chief of transformation at Dubai Future Foundation, noted that Dubai’s vision aligns with the diaspora’s innovative spirit. “Dubai’s forward-looking ethos and role as a global gateway align perfectly with the Indian diaspora’s drive for innovation and entrepreneurship. The Indiaspora Forum for Good being held in the United Arab Emirates is a natural fit."
The forum will also highlight philanthropic initiatives and showcase the Indian ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—the world as one family. “At IFG we plan to facilitate meaningful conversations spanning numerous areas including geopolitics, technology, business and investments, the arts, sports, climate, healthcare, cuisine, culture, and artificial intelligence,” said Indiaspora executive director Sanjeev Joshipura.
The forum features several leaders on the host committee including Raj Subramaniam, CEO of FedEx, and Kris Gopalakrishnan, Infosys co-founder, Nadir Patel, former Canadian High Commissioner to India, amongst others.
