KAMPALA — The Ruparelia Group has thrown its weight behind India Day 2026, emerging among the key corporate sponsors of the annual celebration that brings together Uganda’s Indian community and people from across the country.
The sponsorship by one of Uganda’s leading business groups underscores the growing role of the private sector in promoting cultural exchange, community engagement and stronger ties between Uganda and India.
India Day is expected to showcase the richness of Indian culture through music, dance, cuisine, fashion and other cultural performances, while providing a platform for Ugandans and members of the Indian diaspora to interact and celebrate their shared connections.
For the Ruparelia Group, the partnership further reflects its longstanding links with the Indian community and its wider involvement in Uganda’s social and economic development.
The Group, founded by businessman Sudhir Ruparelia, has built a diversified business empire with interests in real estate, education, hospitality, financial services and other sectors.
The celebration comes against the backdrop of steadily expanding Uganda-India relations, with the two countries maintaining strong connections in trade, investment, education, healthcare and people-to-people exchanges.
India Day also offers businesses an opportunity to strengthen networks and promote partnerships while celebrating the cultural contribution of the Indian community to Uganda.
Organisers say the event will bring together members of the diplomatic community, business leaders, entrepreneurs, families and cultural enthusiasts for a day of celebration and engagement.
The Ruparelia Group’s backing is therefore expected to give the event a significant corporate boost while reinforcing the message that cultural diplomacy and business can work hand in hand to deepen relations between communities and nations.
As preparations gather pace, India Day 2026 is shaping up to be not only a celebration of Indian heritage, but also a reflection of the enduring Uganda-India friendship and the contribution of the Indian community to Uganda’s economic and social fabric.
