Numerous Indian-Americans shine bright on Forbes 30 Under 30 lists

From finance to healthcare to education, Indian-Americans are making their mark in several industries.

Some are defying the odds and building businesses despite Covid-19; others are helping to fight the illness, serving on hospital frontlines or working with A.I. to discover new drugs.

At least 52 Indian-Americans are among the 600 young entrepreneurs, activists, scientists and entertainers that have been featured in the 10th Annual Forbes 30 Under 30 presented by The Macallan.

Forbes says they give everyone reason to hope.

Collectively, the Under 30 trailblazers have raised over $1 billion in venture funding and are proof positive that ambition and innovation cannot be quarantined.
