Indians are excelling in every field, not only in India but also globally. Whether in India or the United States, UK, Germany, or Italy, many Indians have made winning a habit. Over the years, several Indian Americans have risen to positions of great prominence in all walks of life. Approximately two million Indians live in the U.S., the largest number of people of any non-native origin residing in a particular country. Of these, many of them have achieved great recognition in their fields of expertise.

Having achieved this success, most Indian Americans are very passionate about contributing to the growth of their country, to engage with her people in a meaningful way. They have abiding ties and a commitment to contribute to India's growth process.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the premier industry body of India, has set up the Indian American Council (IAC) to connect Indian Americans to opportunities in India and enhance their engagement with India. The Council provides a formal mechanism through which Indian Americans can identify avenues for participation in India's developmental process.

The Council is a unique network of accomplished Indian Americans connecting with India. It will help them exchange ideas, share learning, and formulate strategies to contribute to India's growth and success. The Council is a clearinghouse of opportunities related to India's overall development.

The inspiration for the Indian American Council comes from the involvement of numerous Indian Americans in social and business-related areas in India. From people setting up professional networks to fostering entrepreneurship development, to running medical camps in remote villages of India, to setting up world-class education networks or state-of-the-art health care facilities, examples of involved Indian Americans are increasing steadily.
