As St. Louis continues to diversify, the Indian and Indian-American population is playing an increasingly vital role in shaping the city’s identity, fostering cross-cultural exchange, and strengthening the local economy. This talk will explore the vibrant contributions, challenges, and future potential of this dynamic community in the heart of the Midwest.
The session will be led by Sneha Chembayil Rajan, PhD, Legislative Liaison in The St. Louis County Executive’s Office and former Indian Outreach Consultant at the Mosaic Project. With a background in both Government and International Affairs, Dr. Rajan brings a unique perspective on how the Indian and Indian-American communities are influencing local policies, fostering cross-cultural dialogue, and driving positive change in St. Louis.
