Investing in India as a U.S. NRI - Law, Structure & Access
About the event
As Indian-origin professionals in the U.S. build wealth, many are looking beyond traditional U.S. portfolios for diversification. India remains a strong long-term growth story, but access, structure, and compliance matter far more than headlines.
