The community of '''Indians in Cyprus''' includes Indian expatriates in [[Cyprus]], as well as Cypriot citizens of Indian origin or descent. Even though Cyprus has a much smaller community of Indians compared to other western countries, the community boasts over 7250 Indians primarily in the field of ICT (Information, Communication, Technology) and shipping industry. A large number are employed in various offshore companies. The multi-national company [[Amdocs]] maintains an office in [[Limassol]] which currently employs over 250 Indian software programmers.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://srikrishnadas.multiply.com/journal?&=&page_start=1980 |title=1 |access-date=2010-12-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714132030/http://srikrishnadas.multiply.com/journal?&=&page_start=1980 |archive-date=2011-07-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
