✨ Indian Americans Rising Up! ✨ From Hollywood to Capitol Hill, the influence of Indian Americans is stronger than ever! This vibrant community has brought unique perspectives to the U.S., and their contributions are reshaping the landscape in politics, entertainment, and hospitality. 🏨 In Hospitality: Around 60% of America’s hotels are owned by Indian Americans, with many moving into executive roles in major hotel chains. In the November issue of Asian Hospitality magazine, Lina Patel, former AAHOA Women Hoteliers Director Eastern Division (2017-2023) highlights the values that drive their success: hard work, entrepreneurship, and family. “The Indian community has long played a pivotal role in the hospitality industry. This success is deeply rooted in cultural values such as a strong work ethic, entrepreneurship, and an emphasis on family.” - Lina Patel 💼 In Leadership: Leaders like VP Kamala Harris, actors Mindy Kaling and Kal Penn, and Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy keep Indian American voices front and center. Their visibility is sparking fresh conversations and breaking barriers. As the community grows, so does its influence—and that light continues to shine brighter.
