Thur 5/28 4-5:45 Slumdogs, Social Entrepreneurs & Software Gurus

Tuesday, May. 26, 2009

Slumdogs, Social Entrepreneurs, and Sofware Gurus
Thursday, May 28, 4 pm – 5:45 pm, Benson Parlor B,
Santa Clara University


The success of globally connected Indian communities, such as those based in Silicon Valley, has received significant attention from media, policymakers, and businesspersons worldwide in recent years. These communities of entrepreneurs, engineers, mediapersons and other professionals of Indian origin have become an increasingly important and influential constituency from a global point of view. A panel of distinguished participants will address the impact of global Indian communities—on technology, economy, society, media, and culture—in the US and India. The panel will cover a range of issues including: Indian commitments to social entrepreneurship; visions of economic, social, and technological development among expatriate Indian communities; opportunities and challenges presented by transnational grassroots development ventures; and changing images and perceptions of Indians in US and diasporic media.
