INDIA CURRENTS FOUNDATION

Description

India Currents is an award-winning, nonprofit news organization bringing Indian Americans stories that explain and explore living in the United States. Established in 1987, we are the oldest newsroom dedicated to covering America’s Indian diaspora of 5 million, the fastest-growing Asian population in the United States.

India Currents has documented the life of Indian Americans in Silicon Valley for over 37 years. In 2019 India Currents transitioned from a 32-year-old print magazine into a fully digital, nonprofit entity. We are a BIPOC-led team.

Our deep roots in the community make us a trusted messenger on critical issues. Like all ethnic media, our role is first and foremost to document the intimate lives of the audience we serve. We connect our audience to their heritage with relevant coverage of the arts and produce stories beyond the model minority narrative.

We also chronicle social issues that impact their lives - whether it’s cross-cultural identities, assimilation, domestic violence, or the changes to immigration policy and Public Charge on new immigrants who are Silicon Valley employees.
