Origins and establishment of the Indian business community in Malta

Abstract

In Malta, there is currently a well-established business community of Indian descent. Its origins lie in the development that characterised the history of “the Indian sub-continent” which led to various migrating waves across the world. Its establishment and further development in Malta were however strongly influenced by the environment of the host country. This article analyses how the combination of these factors contributed to the present situation of the Maltese business community of Indian descent.
