The Pravasi Bhartiya Divas platform (PBD) was initially focused on engaging with the diaspora around the world under one roof; network, share their experiences in various fields and honour individuals of merit in appreciation of their role in India's growth story.

The PBD has over the years in some ways transcended the nostalgia though it is clearly an inseparable part of what constitutes the discourse with diaspora. PBD has now developed into a serious platform for Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to break boundaries and nurture business and investment relationships with their motherland. Calling the Indian diaspora its bridge of friendship to the world, Pravasi Bhartiya Divas invites the strong diaspora of India to become a part of India's success story.

Can flagship events such as PBD help in enhancing the partnership between India and its diaspora?

Let's discuss.
