Read Full Story →What is Indianness?
Indianness is a US-based nonprofit platform dedicated to the global Indian diaspora.
We celebrate the journeys of Indian origin changemakers — entrepreneurs, educators, artists, physicians, policymakers, and leaders in every field — through long form podcasts, curated member spotlights, and the annual Indianness 100 list.
This is not a news feed. It is a community, an archive, and a stage — built for the people whose stories deserve to be told with the depth they have always warranted.
The Indianness Podcast
Life journeys and insights from highly accomplished global Indians.
Hosted by Sanjay Puri, the Indianness Podcast brings you in depth, unfiltered conversations with Indian origin leaders across every field. Each episode is a portrait — of ambition, of identity, of what it means to build a life between two worlds.
The Indianness 100
One Hundred People. Measurable Impact. One Record
Every year, Indianness names 100 Indian origin individuals whose work is visibly changing the world — across business, science, arts, public service, healthcare, and education. The Indianness 100 is not a popularity list. It is a permanent record of documented impact, archived and searchable for every year it runs.
