New Jersey India Center

New Jersey India Center, established in 2019, signifies New Jersey’s dedication to nurturing economic ties with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. New Jersey’s strong economic and cultural ties with India make it the perfect destination for Indian companies aiming to expand to the United States. To assist in that process, the New Jersey India Center has two locations, one in Delhi and one in Bengaluru. New Jersey is the only state with two offices in India!

New Jersey’s Global Economic Index also names India as the State’s top global economic partner. The relationship between New Jersey and India was further solidified in 2024 with the establishment of the New Jersey-India Commission. New Jersey is also the foremost U.S. location for job creation by Indian businesses and has the second-largest Indian-born population in the country.

Robbinsville is home to the world’s largest Akshardham temple complex, the BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham. And “Little Gujarat” in Jersey City – also known as India Square – has one of the highest concentrations of Indians in the country. Oak Tree Road, also named “Little India,” is one of the largest hubs for Indian business and people in the United States and stretches between the New Jersey towns of Edison and Iselin.

New Jersey sits in the center of the bustling corridor of the United States between Boston and Washington D.C., positioning Indian companies perfectly to access consumers quickly and efficiently.

A company located in central New Jersey can serve over 46 million consumers within a four-hour drive.

Northeast New Jersey is located just 20 minutes from New York City, the financial capital of the world, via PATH commuter rail service or ferry.
