The '''Telugu Diaspora''' refers to [[Telugu people]] who live outside their homeland of [[Indian states]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Telangana]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/lok-sabah-2019-how-telugu-diaspora-are-pulling-their-weight-two-states-99158|title=Lok Sabha 2019: How the Telugu diaspora is pulling its weight in the two states|date=29 March 2019}}</ref> They are predominantly found in [[North America]], [[Europe]], [[Australia]], [[Caribbean]], [[Arab states of the Persian Gulf|Gulf]], [[Africa]] and other regions around the world. There are also few Telugus from other Indian states such as [[Karnataka]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[Odisha]] and [[Maharashtra]], who live outside India. Telugus of Andhra Pradesh origin, living outside India are often referred as Non-resident Andhras (NRA). After the bifurcation of the [[United Andhra Pradesh]], these are popularly referred as Non-resident Telugus.<ref>{{Cite news|agency=Press Trust of India|date=2016-05-10|title=AP govt establishes 'Non-Resident Telugu Society'|work=Business Standard India|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/ap-govt-establishes-non-resident-telugu-society-116051001318_1.html|access-date=2021-07-16}}</ref>

== The Telugu Boom ==
The ''Telugu Boom'' refers to the migration of a large number of Telugu speaking people from the [[India]]n states of [[Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Telangana]] to the [[United States of America]] from late 80s largely consisting of the migration of [[student]]s and [[Information Technology]] workers which continues to the present day.<ref>{{cite news|author=A.

===Background===
With the onset of [[Information revolution|IT revolution]] in the late 1980s and 1990s coupled with high [[unemployment]] and [[corruption]] led more families to send their [[undergraduate]] children for higher studies to universities of [[developed countries]] on better job prospects. This was also supported with [[F visa|F1 visa]] program of USA and similar programs of other countries such as [[Canada]] and [[UK]]. The [[Y2K problem]] and Indian government's [[Software Technology Park]] initiative also helped many small companies to set up shops in Hyderabad that helped prospective employees to use [[H-1B Visa]] program.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ia.rediff.com/money/2004/jun/11it1.htm |title=Hyderabad booms: IT exports top $1 billion |publisher=Ia.rediff.com |access-date=2012-12-31}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fabcity.in/ |title=Fab City | Hyderabad India |publisher=Fabcity.in |access-date=2012-12-31}}</ref>
