Born in Bombay, India in 1948, Nosh Tarachand moved to Los Angeles in 1972 and then to Colorado in 1981, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1982. Having lived and worked in several Western European countries, Nosh brings an international business and political acumen to NAIRA. He began his career in aerospace/aviation and presently is an aviator-turned automobile dealer.

His international experience gives him an understanding of what it means to deal with the challenges and opportunities of being an immigrant. His mission at NAIRA is to bridge the gap of understanding between Asian Indians and local and national governmental entities so as to create an environment of equal opportunity in business and representation:

I believe that through the untiring efforts of persistent NAIRA members we will create and enhance the abilities of our children to be happy, contributing members of American society.

Nosh?s involvement in local government and business organizations as a leader, mediator, facilitator, and networker helps many Indian entrepreneurs feel welcomed and connected within their new communities.

As co-founder of NAIRA, with Hitesh Patel, Ev Sequeira, Amar Singh, and Shekhar Bhushan, Nosh intends to create new inroads to the Republican Party and engage in dialogue on behalf of the Asian Indian American community on a local and national level.
