  Spotlight: The South Asian Community
 

Click here for details about other PIttsburgh communities.

 


The South Asians living here, mostly from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, include more than 3,000 families, excluding students, and are quite diverse. They are multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious. They are widely scattered across the six counties in and around Pittsburgh. The majority of the South Asian families are from India. They are mostly professionals (physicians and surgeons, industrial researchers, management professionals, and university teachers) and entrepreneurs (IT, high technology, and traditional manufacturing).

  The South Asians began arriving in the U.S. (including Southwestern Pennsylvania) in the mid-1960s as university students, post-docs, and healthcare professionals. After their studies and internships, many decided to stay. The major national groups from South Asia have active community associations.

For more than 50 years, GlobalPittsburgh has forged cultural, educational and business relationships between the Greater Pittsburgh Region and the global community through citizen diplomacy – connecting people and institutions in the region with audiences around the world through a wide range of hosting, training, networking and outreach programs.

GlobalPittsburgh is a charter member of the National Council for International Visitors, and works closely with the U.S. Department of State's International Visitor Leadership Program and other organizations to bring foreign delegations to the Greater Pittsburgh Region to experience our centers of excellence in energy, education, economic & environmental revitalization, life sciences, technology, government and more.

We also bring together international residents and visitors temporarily living, studying and working in the region through our CONNECT program, which offers 20+ programs and networking events per year. Read the printable FLYER
