In India, many prominent entrepreneurs, businesspeople, directors, celebrities from the film industry, doctors, lawyers, and high-ranking officials are also part of this community. Notable Indian Freemasons include Swami Vivekananda, Firozshah Mehta, Pandit Motilal Nehru, Sir Dorabji Jamshedji Tata, Dr. C.
