Celebrating Trailblazers and Change Makers
Austin’s Indian diaspora profoundly enriches our city, yet no general platform currently exists to formally recognize individuals who have made extraordinary, selfless contributions both within and beyond the Indian community.
The Austin Indian Excellence Awards (AIEA) is established to fill this need and honor those who demonstrate exceptional leadership, innovation, and service across key sectors, including:
Arts & Culture
Philanthropy & Volunteering
Civic Engagement
Entrepreneurship & Innovation
Education & Literature
Intercultural Leadership
Our Goal: To recognize significant community impact, inspire future leaders, and strengthen the bond between the Indian diaspora and the broader Austin society.
We invite sponsors, partners, and nominators to help us build an enduring tradition that celebrates excellence and selflessness.
Let’s honor those who inspire us and build a stronger, more connected Austin.
