Team Indiaspora Takes Las Vegas
Our US team traded Zoom calls for in-person magic during an unforgettable week in Vegas! While mapping out our upcoming events—including our exciting Forum For Good in Abu Dhabi and Dubai this February—we embraced some desert adventures together. From marveling at the engineering wonder of the Hoover Dam to exploring the stunning red rock formations at Valley of Fire, and being mesmerized by the spectacular “Awakenings” show, every moment brought our remote team closer.
