The Global Organization of People of Indian Origin (GOPIO) will be organizing a series of virtual events to inform, equip and energize the Indian diaspora.
Starting from July, the events will address a wide variety of topics that are relevant and pressing to the Indian diaspora. These events are fixed for the second Saturday of each month (USA's time zone).
The first event is scheduled for July 12 at 9 am ET /6 am PT, (2pm UK, 3-5 pm across Europe, Africa & Middle East, 6:30 pm in India and 11 pm in Australia and July 13 at 1 am in New Zealand).
Subsequently every second Saturday of each month, the community will learn about a specific theme relevant to a sub-section of the members of the GOPIO family.

On July 12, several legal experts will discuss “Immigration Issues: Migration Issues Worldwide with Focus on North America and Europe,” an issue that has gained significant prominence in the present geo-political climate.
Lord Bhikhu Parekh, a member of the House of Lords who was former professor at University of Hull and University of Westminster, will be the chief guest for this webinar.
On Aug.9, multiple tech experts will come together to break down AI to a broader audience. “What can AI do for me (Smart Living: Everyday Uses of AI made simple)?” will be the webinar's topic.
September's webinar will delve on the theme “What can Ancient Wisdom do to help me: Diabetes, Heart Disease and Today’s Health Issues?”
For the rest of the year, the schedule features, 'Oct.11, 2025 – Involvement in India’s growth story – Role of diaspora', 'Nov.8, 2025 – Diaspora’s Role in the Technology of the Future' and 'Dec.13, 2025 – Coping with Technological Challenges and Changes'.
Articulating the rationale for these events, Thomas Abraham, Founder President and Chairman of GOPIO, in a statement, said, “Since the Indian diaspora is so widely scattered to the ends of the earth, we needed a platform to connect and communicate with our community and this idea of a monthly webinar series emerged. These events will certainly energize and harness the power of the Indians who have now become powerhouses of influence everywhere”
Prakash Shah, President of GOPIO, explained the pressing need for unifying the diaspora community and said, “We believe now that the age of robotics will usher in cataclysmic changes that need to be addressed in an unprecedented manner.
He further stated, "With the technology mastery and leadership, Indians are better poised to offer compelling solutions to the issues that are unfolding around the world. With rapid adoption of technology, solving problems at scale in collaboration with our homeland communities is only possible when we unleash the cumulative intellectual capital that the Non-Resident Indians possess.”
