Fifth edition of the awards will recognise achievements across business, professions, arts and academics
Singapore is set to host the fifth edition of the NRI Achievers Awards in 2026, bringing together Indian-origin achievers from around the world for an event celebrating contributions across professional and creative fields.
The awards, organised by Eventinity Ventures Pvt Ltd, will be held in Singapore on July 31, according to the organisers. The ceremony marks the return of the awards to the city after earlier editions were held in Mumbai, Dubai and London.
The 2026 edition is aimed at recognising non-resident Indians and people of Indian origin whose work has made a significant contribution to their industries, communities or wider society. The awards cover four broad areas — business, professional achievements, art and entertainment, and academics.

The academic category is open to students aged 11 to 18 who have demonstrated academic excellence and whose parents are of Indian origin and living overseas. Professional and entrepreneurial categories require applicants to meet specified experience and eligibility criteria.
The Singapore event follows the fourth edition, held at Hilton London Wembley in June 2025. That ceremony recognised Indian-origin achievers from countries including the UK, US, Australia, Canada and Singapore for contributions in areas such as business, healthcare, education, leadership and the arts.
The organisers have invited nominations for the 2026 awards, with the nomination deadline listed as June 30. The event is intended to provide a platform for highlighting the achievements and international contribution of the Indian diaspora.
