Calgary is home to approximately 80,000 Indians, a community that has grown rapidly with Alberta's oil sands industry boom. Calgary serves as the corporate headquarters for Canada's oil and gas sector: Suncor, Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus, and TC Energy all have large offices in the city, employing Indian engineers, geoscientists, and business professionals. The Aga Khan Foundation and Ismaili Muslim Indian community have significant roots in Calgary, alongside Sikh Punjabi families (many in the construction and trucking industries) and South Indian healthcare professionals recruited to Alberta's hospital system.
