Indians in Turkey are a small community numbering 300 and comprising roughly 100 families.[1][2] Most of them work as doctors and computer engineers or employees in multinational corporations.[2] India also has a small business presence in Turkey through representative offices of Reliance Industries, Tata Motors and Indorama.

Relations

Most Indians are Hindu and the community forms the bulk of Hindus in Turkey. Indian cuisine, culture and cinema are widespread and popular throughout the country. In recent times, there have been efforts to promote tourism and culture from India as a means of developing the community and establishing better relations with Turkish society.[2]
