ABOUT NRI HUB
Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are Indian citizens who live outside India for more than 182 days in a financial year, mainly for employment, business, or education. They form one of the world’s largest and most successful diasporas and play a vital role in India’s growth through remittances and investments. Beyond economics, NRIs act as cultural ambassadors, preserving Indian traditions, values, and heritage across continents.
The Global Impact of the Non-Resident Indian (NRI):
NRIs represent one of the most influential global communities. Spread across 183 countries and numbering over 13 million, they serve as a crucial bridge between India and the global ecosystem, contributing to economic, cultural, and social development worldwide.
Economic and Cultural Powerhouses
Economically, NRIs are central to India’s financial stability. India consistently ranks as the world’s top recipient of remittances, with billions of dollars sent annually. These inflows strengthen foreign exchange reserves, boost real estate, and accelerate the growth of India’s startup ecosystem.
Beyond finances, NRIs play a key role as cultural ambassadors. By celebrating festivals, promoting Indian cuisine, arts, and professional expertise, they help shape India’s global identity and elevate its presence on the world stage.

NRI & GLOBAL COIMBATORE
From Coimbatore to the World: Stories NRIs Still Carry Home
Even when miles away, Coimbatore never really leaves you. It lives in your morning filter coffee rituals, the comfort of familiar Tamil words, and the pride you feel when someone abroad says, “I’ve heard about Kovai.” This space is for NRIs who grew up here, studied here, worked here—or simply carry Coimbatore in their hearts. From career journeys and business wins to nostalgic memories and family traditions, we celebrate the global Coimbatorian community that keeps its roots strong while reaching new heights. Whether you’re settling in a new country, building a startup, or raising the next generation overseas, your story matters. Here, we share voices that inspire—real people navigating real transitions, holding on to culture, and creating new identities without losing the old. Welcome to the place where your hometown meets your world.
Across Borders, Same Heart: How NRIs Keep Coimbatore Close
Living abroad comes with exciting opportunities—but also quiet moments of longing. NRIs often become cultural bridges: introducing friends to South Indian food, celebrating festivals far from home, and teaching children the language and values they grew up with. From weekend cooking of Kongu-style meals to joining local Tamil communities, the Coimbatorian spirit adapts beautifully anywhere in the world.
What makes the NRI journey unique is the balance—building a successful life globally while staying emotionally connected to home. Some return to start businesses in Coimbatore, some support local causes, and many keep their ties alive through family, friendships, and traditions. Wherever you are, you’re still part of Coimbatore’s story.
