Ambassadors of a new and resurgent India, Gujaratis living abroad, are headed home to Ahmedabad where their success will be celebrated at a three-day think and fun fest, starting October 15.

This three-day unique gathering, aptly titled Pravasi Gujarati Parv 2022, will host over 2500 A-lister Gujaratis from over 20 countries and across India to salute the great Gujarati enterprise, culture and asmita.

TV9 Network and Association of Indian Americans in North America (AIANA), the largest organisation of NRIs in the country, have come together for the event, a press release from the news channel stated.

Featuring multi-media shows, cultural extravaganza, thought leadership sessions, keynote addresses by policymakers, sessions by spiritual gurus, business conferences and performances by celebrities, it would be a tribute to the unstoppable force of Gujaratism.

With over 200 plus prominent leaders, 80 plus speakers, 30 plus mega conclaves and conferences, 30 plus business tycoons and multimedia shows with over 50 plus artists, the think fest will establish a new benchmark.

Talking about the initiative, TV9 Network MD & CEO Barun Das said, “Diaspora plays a strategic role in building brand India on the global arena. Gujarati diaspora has made an enduring impression the world over, driving thought leadership across domains. TV9’s Pravasi Gujarati Parv is a modest effort to showcase the global Gujarati leadership and celebrate its success. Joining the unique global celebration will be India’s top policy makers, celebrities and business leaders.”

Praful Nayak, President, AIANA India, said: “As India is celebrating 75th year of its independence, it is the most opportune time to showcase and celebrate the contribution of Gujarati diaspora in building brand India at the global arena. It is our privilege to host global Gujarati leaders across spectrums and learn from their journey. I am confident that their presence will inspire not only Gujaratis but people from all across the country. We, at AIANA, have been connecting, communicating and celebrating the Indian diaspora at a global stage since 2002 through various mega events and initiatives.”

The three-day event will be streamed live across TV9 Network channels on TV and digital platform, focusing on discussions and debates around how the NRI community can be made to feel at home to attract more investments, how Gujarati capital is creating global wealth, celebrate Gujaratis in every sector from sports to business to entertainment, be the voice of Gujarat on the global stage, provide a platform for young achievers who are making Gujarat proud and felicitations to Gujarati achievers.
