About IAE
A home away from home — open to everyone.
We started in 2022 with a simple idea: the Indian community in Estonia should have a place to celebrate, to find help, and to feel at home.
The Indian Association of Estonia (IAE) is a non-profit made up of people of Indian and non-Indian origin. We promote the welfare and well-being of the Indian community living in Estonia — and we welcome everyone with an open heart, whatever their background.
Our guiding motto is ancient and simple: वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् — vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam, "the world is one family". It comes from the Maha Upanishad, and it is why our festivals are open to friends, neighbours and colleagues from every country.

What we work for.
Members volunteer for events and support our Taskforce in serving the community.
Building
A community that includes and fosters every member.
Welfare
Within reach of each other — in need and in celebration.
Culture
Carrying our values across generations and origins.
Contribution
Giving back to Estonia, a home to all of us.
