India Currents Foundation

India Currents is an award-winning, nonprofit, nonpartisan, ethnic media organization focused on the Indian American community. Our mission is to strengthen civic engagement within the Indian diaspora by applying a cultural lens to mainstream narratives, elevating underrepresented voices, and engaging with social justice issues.

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.
