There is a small community of '''Indians in Finland''' consisting mainly of Finnish citizens of Indian origin or descent as well as expatriates from [[India]].

==Overview==
At the beginning of the 21st century there were about 450 Indians in the Helsinki region.<ref>[http://www.hs.fi/english/article/South+Asian+population+grows+sharply+in+Helsinki+region/1135220364219 HELSINGIN SANOMAT - INTERNATIONAL EDITION - METRO - South Asian population grows sharply in Helsinki region]</ref> In 2019 Finland was home to over 13500 Indians. The majority of the Indians live in and around the capital [[Helsinki]]. Most of them are engaged in businesses such as restaurants and stores selling garments, textiles, artificial jewellery, groceries and gift items. A number of young Indians, mainly computer and telecom experts, have in recent years joined Finnish high-tech companies such as [[Nokia]].

There are hundreds of Indian engineers working in Finland. Many of them came to work there to get a quality life and also their salary would be double than what they would get in India even though taxes erode the difference.<ref>[http://www.nordiclabourjournal.org/i-fokus/in-focus-2010/theme-joint-nordic-drive-for-more-foreign-labour/finlands-welfare-system-appeals-to-indian-it-engineers Nordic Labour Journal - Finland's welfare system appeals to Indian IT engineers]</ref> At Nokia's research facility alone there are nearly 100 Indians working there. [[Wipro]] employed some 300 people in Finland while their competitor [[Tata Consultancy Services]] employed 600 individuals. Many of the engineers came with their spouses and children and have settled permanently in Finland.

There is also a sizable population of Indian postgraduate students, both Master’s and PhD level students, in Finland and especially in Helsinki region. They are most prominent in technology related fields.<ref>[http://www.helsinki.fi/top/fintia.html Helsinki in on top in Technology and Research - Finland and India]</ref>

There are also Indian communities who celebrate indian festivals such as diwali,pongal etc. The size of the communities are growing.
