Indiaspora, a leading Indian community organization has hailed President Donald Trump’s second-term administration highlighting the growing influence of Indian-Americans, with key appointments across civil rights, national security, and technology.
“We are pleased that the Indian American community is more politically engaged and are proud of the diaspora voices in American politics today,” stated the nonprofit actively engaged in non-partisan political engagement since founding in 2012, on the eve of Trump’s inauguration.

Indiaspora also congratulated five Indian Americans —Harmeet Kaur Dhillon, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kash Patel, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Sriram Krishnan — who have been nominated for key jobs in the incoming Trump administration:
MR Rangaswami, Founder and Chairman of Indiaspora, said, “On behalf of Indiaspora and the Indian-American community, I’d like to congratulate President Trump as the 47th President of the United States. I expect US-India relations to continue flourishing amidst this new political climate in America. The senior most government officials on both sides have established strong relationships during President Trump’s first term, and there is strong bipartisan support in the United States to further this important bilateral relationship.”
Sanjeev Joshipura, Indiaspora’s Executive Director, added, “Two of Indiaspora’s key focus areas over the years have been our efforts to increase the Indian diaspora’s civic and political engagement in a nonpartisan manner, and to strengthen US-India ties. It is heartening to see every successive American administration, regardless of political party, place Indian Americans in senior roles in government, and the incoming Trump administration has continued this trend. Furthermore, Indiaspora is poised to continue playing a role in catalyzing bilateral dialogues, just as we did in New Delhi and Houston during the previous Trump administration.”
