Indian Diaspora shares perspectives at the 2024 India Conference at Harvard | India Rising Theme

The Indian student community of Harvard University has a long-standing tradition of running the India Harvard Conference more than two decades.

This year on February 17th-18th, the India Harvard Conference witnessed a congregation of the best minds from India and the Indian Diaspora who exchanged thoughts and ideas around the theme of “India Rising”.

The theme “India Rising” was chosen with the intent to demonstrate India’s ascent into a country of significance globally, whether it is with regards to geopolitics, business, or culture.

The Harvard India conference is one of the largest student-run events in the United States today and attracts over 800 students, academic professionals, business leaders, and policy experts from India and the Indian diaspora around the world. The Conference was held at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) and Harvard Business School (HBS) over 2 days.

Through the “India Rising” theme, many speakers in the conference explored India’s rich heritage and provided rich perspectives on India’s ongoing transformation as an economic and cultural powerhouse at the world stage.

In this video, the members from the Indian Diaspora share their perspectives on the India Rising story and the role Indian Diaspora can play in the growth story of new India.
