When the lights of downtown Dallas switch on tonight, you'll see more than the tricolor hues of India's flag. On the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence Day, you'll also be seeing the glow of success from 220,000 Indian Americans who've made North Texas their home. A new report from the Indian American CEO Council shows the positive impact they've made on our economy, our jobs, and our communities.
Co-Chairs Sanjiv Yajnik and Arun Agarwal started the IACEO in 2018 after accompanying Governor Abbott on a trade mission to India. "The governor realized the power of India, and India realized the power of Texas. We could make a difference."
