By bringing together professionals and alumni, the network promises to deepen collaborative opportunities across diverse sectors, particularly education, healthcare, and business, further strengthening the historic relationship between the two nations.
In a significant move to strengthen ties between Ireland and India, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, the renowned biotech entrepreneur and philanthropist, will launch the Ireland-India Affinity Diaspora Network on Wednesday, September 11. This initiative, spearheaded by the Irish Embassy in India, seeks to unite Indian professionals who have either studied or worked in Ireland, fostering a platform for cultural exchange and professional collaboration.
The network aims to reconnect individuals with their Irish experiences, offering opportunities to engage in events celebrating the rich cultural heritage of both nations. As a visionary in the healthcare and biotech sectors, Mazumdar-Shaw’s involvement underscores the initiative’s potential to enhance academic, cultural, and professional ties.
“This platform is particularly meaningful, given that it coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Ireland and India,” said Kevin Kelly, Ireland’s Ambassador to India. The launch will not only highlight the long-standing diplomatic connection but also emphasize the importance of people-to-people connections in expanding bilateral relations.
