Look at who is sitting at the White House table discussing the future of artificial intelligence.
Some of America’s most influential AI and technology leaders are immigrants—and roughly one in five of the private-sector attendees at this gathering had roots in India.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra and Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar are among the Indian and Indian-origin leaders helping shape America’s technology future.
From AI and semiconductors to cybersecurity and cloud computing, high-skilled immigrants are playing a major role in America’s technological leadership.
And that raises a bigger question: What does this tell us about H-1B visas, high-skilled immigration and America’s ability to attract global talent?
For NRIs, Indian Americans and the Indian diaspora, this is also a powerful representation story.

An Indian engineer who moved to the USA 12 years ago now says he regrets moving to America, despite having a steady job and reportedly $360,000 in savings.
His story highlights a growing conversation among NRIs and the Indian diaspora: Is life in America really better than life in India? From the high cost of living and loneliness to family, community, career opportunities and raising children, the NRI experience is about much more than earning a higher salary.

An Indian American #Illinois public official, @Priyanka_Deo said that “sounding smart” in U.S. workplaces can be perceived as a sign of weakness, advising immigrant professionals to adopt more direct communication styles.
108 years before September 11 became one of the darkest dates in American history, an Indian stood on a stage in Chicago and delivered a very different message to America.
It was September 11, 1893.
Swami Vivekananda stood before the World’s Parliament of Religions and opened with words that would echo across generations:
“Sisters and Brothers of America.”
An Indian monk, thousands of miles from home, spoke to an American audience about religious tolerance, mutual respect, and our shared humanity.
It became an important early moment of cultural connection between India and America.
Then, exactly 108 years later, September 11 took on a devastatingly different meaning.
On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed in terrorist attacks on the United States.
We remember those who lost their lives, the families forever changed, and the first responders, search-and-rescue teams, dogs and handlers, and countless others who answered the call to help.
Indian-Americans were among those who lost their lives and among the communities that grieved and rebuilt alongside their fellow Americans.
Indian-Americans were among those who lost their lives and among the communities that grieved and rebuilt alongside their fellow Americans. I remember I was in elementary school when we saw the twin towers fall. Our school administrator were worried that a plane might go into the Sears Tower, now Willis Tower, in Downtown, Chicago, and my school was on high alert.
For Indian-Americans, September 11 is also part of our shared American history.
These two September 11s are profoundly different, and they should never be equated.
But there is something powerful about the shared date.
More than a century before 9/11, an Indian voice stood on American soil and addressed Americans not as strangers, but as brothers and sisters.
For those of us whose lives bridge India and America, those words still carry special meaning.
We can honor where we came from while standing with the country we call home.
India is part of our heritage. America is part of our story.
And on September 11, we remember the lives lost, honor those who served, and carry forward a simple message:
Choose understanding over intolerance and humanity over hatred.
