In recent years, Indian students have started joining medical courses in the Dominican Republic and engineers and IT professionals are trickling in as major companies have set up shop on the island.[3] There is also a small, but dominant Gujarati business community mainly engaged in the hotel and jewellery industry. Swaminarayan practitioners have become more common on the island due to an outreach program.[4]
