The Indian-American diaspora is the wealthiest immigrant group by ethnicity in the United States with a median household income of 100,500 dollars in 2015. This value is almost double the national average.
The success of Indian Americans can be attributed to a lot of factors resulting from a unique blend of Indian values of hard work, discipline, and focus on education mixed with the American ecosystem of opportunities, wealth, and ambitiousness.
An alternate way of looking at it would be that because the number of applicants from India is so high, only the most skilled Indians get to settle or work in the US, automatically making their income way above average.
Indian-Americans are now part of the Ivy Leagues, Hollywood, the media, judicial system, and of course, US Politics. They are an influential vote-bank that cannot be ignored. In India, they contribute via investment and remittances, many bringing with them their expertise that they use to build ventures in India.
While India has been inspired by the US in terms of entrepreneurship, technology and finance, the US has absorbed India's cuisine, spirituality, Yoga and culture.
We wish the United States a very happy 244th Independence Day! May India and the US keep contributing to each others' successes.
