Indians in Kenya, often known as Kenyan Asians,[1] are citizens and residents of Kenya with ancestral roots in the Indian subcontinent. Significant Indian migration to modern-day Kenya began following the creation of the British East Africa Protectorate in 1895, which had strong infrastructure links with Bombay in British India. Indians in Kenya predominantly live in the major urban areas of Nairobi and Mombasa, with a minority living in rural areas.
According to the World Economic Forum, the population of Indians in Kenya numbered around 100,000 in 2015.[2] In 2017, Indians were recognised by the Government of Kenya as the nation's 44th tribe.[3]
