Indian Americans have become one of the most significant donor communities in American electoral politics, raising tens of millions of dollars across federal election cycles and reshaping how both parties court the diaspora. Shekhar Narsimhan helped establish the community’s presence at the highest levels of Democratic fundraising. Asha Jadeja brought Silicon Valley diaspora wealth into the political arena, while Deepak Raj helped mobilize the diaspora’s civic and political engagement at a national scale. Together they represent a generation that moved Indian Americans from a community courted for votes to one that shapes the financial architecture of American democracy.
