Naperville has been proudly celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the Indian diaspora through its annual Swadeshi Mela, a vibrant four-day event held over the past several years. The Mela brings together retail entrepreneurs from across India and various parts of the United States, offering a collective showcase of Indian ethnic fashion, jewelry, and home décor.

This year, Ms. Vijay and Mr. Brij Sharma, Chairman of United Punjabis of America and Hari Om Temple, were honored for their outstanding leadership and dedicated service to the community, an inspiring recognition of their continued efforts to uplift and unite. 

Brij Sharma is also the founder of Powervolt and one of the biggest sponsors of Swadeshi Mela.
