Empowering NRMs and Shaping the Future of Maharashtra

Rise with Maharashtra – Igniting Global Innovation, Honouring Heritage, and Building Bharat through Unity

Our Vision: “Rise with Maharashtra” envisions a bold, future-ready Maharashtra at the heart of India’s growth story and the world’s economic future. More than a platform for development, this is a powerful movement of Non-Resident Maharashtrians (NRMs) committed to shaping a resilient, innovation-led Maharashtra deeply rooted in our shared culture, sustainability, and progress for all.

We see Maharashtra as a global force—where tradition fuels innovation, where entrepreneurship meets ethics, and where every returning NRM becomes a bridge between Bharat and the world. Our vision is to make Maharashtra a symbol of self-reliance, smart industries, and global excellence—contributing directly to Viksit Bharat 2047.

Our Mission: To transform Maharashtra into a globally admired economic, technological, and cultural powerhouse by mobilizing the strength, intellect, and investment of NRMs around the world. Whether in Silicon Valley or Singapore, Dubai or Dublin, Tokyo or Toronto—our people carry the spirit of Maharashtra within them.

By uniting the diaspora with the government, industry, and communities back home, we aim to:

  • Ignite world-class innovation across sectors

  • Facilitate strategic global partnerships

  • Promote ethical enterprise and inclusive growth

  • Support India’s journey toward Atmanirbhar Bharat

With our youth power, industrial might, and cultural depth, Maharashtra will rise—not just as a state, but as a guiding light for the New India.

Our Pillars of Action

Spark Innovation: Foster a global culture of creativity rooted in Maharashtrian excellence—from agri-tech and health to AI, space tech, and digital services. Build world-class innovation ecosystems by linking NRMs with startups, R&D clusters, and forward-looking institutions.

Build Resilient Economic Networks: Reinforce Maharashtra’s infrastructure, logistics, and policy frameworks to ensure robust, future-proof systems. Enable a thriving economy that not only attracts global investment but uplifts every district—from Ratnagiri to Chandrapur.

Strengthen Maharashtra’s Global Stature: With bold action and strategic leadership, elevate Maharashtra as a global benchmark for productivity, cultural diplomacy, and innovation. Lay the foundation for a $1 trillion Maharashtrian economy by 2035, powering Bharat’s rise on the world stage.

Our Key Objectives:

Forge Global Alliances for Growth Facilitate long-term strategic partnerships with nations like the USA, Japan, Australia, the UK, and UAE. Connect Maharashtrian talent and capital abroad with high-impact sectors at home—clean tech, advanced manufacturing, digital finance, and bioeconomy.

Accelerate Inclusive Economic Growth Attract both global and domestic investors—including top NRMs and Fortune 500 companies. Enable job creation and wealth generation through growth in logistics, green industries, renewable energy, tourism, and ITES hubs across Maharashtra.

Champion Sustainable and Just Development Place environmental responsibility and equity at the heart of every project. Encourage climate-smart agriculture, green infrastructure, and rural innovation. Ensure that development empowers farmers, tribal communities, women, and youth alike.

Lead in Tech-Driven Transformation Make Maharashtra a national beacon of digital revolution. Support NRMs and local entrepreneurs in driving innovation in AI, robotics, biotech, fintech, and automation. Establish smart cities, R&D corridors, and high-tech parks that uplift both industry and society.

Strengthen Bharat’s Global Diplomacy Position Maharashtra as a cultural and strategic voice in global forums like BRICS, G20, SCO, and ASEAN. Facilitate exchanges that bring global knowledge home and showcase Maharashtrian brilliance to the world.

Elevate Human Development Translate economic gains into real impact. Drive social progress through better education, accessible healthcare, strong institutions, and inclusive urban and rural systems. Focus on women’s leadership, youth empowerment, and the rise of a confident Marathi middle class—at home and abroad.
