Little India Harris Park Business Association (LIHPBA), established in 2015, is a not-for-profit organisation that gives exposure, not only to the creative arts of the Indian sub-continent, but also highlights the business interests of the Harris Park and Parramatta areas. LIHPBA works with various organisations to promote and propagate for the multicultural mix to promote Little India as a noted precinct of Arts & Culture nationally and internationally. LIHPBA's efforts have been rewarded with massive media coverage over the 2023 Prime Minister Modi visit to the LGA and several events launched and supported by the Federal, State and local Government. LIHPBA has truly put Little India Harris Park on the international map, thereby creating leverage for our partnering businesses.
