  At present there are about 60-70 Indian nationals and people of Indian origin living in the country.  Some of them are students in   medical colleges and others  are working as engineers, software experts or representing  Indian companies.  Several businessmen also form part of the community. Satya Sai Baba  of Putthaparthy has a substantial following in  the Dominican Republic.  Several Sai Baba centers are active in the country.  A substantial number of the visitors from Dominican Republic to India happen to be Sai Baba devotees.

A classical dance exponent in the Dominican Republic received an ICCR scholarship in 2002 to attend a course in Mohiniyattam in   Kalamandalam, Kerala. An exhibition on Gandhi was organized at the Global Foundation in May 2006 and in Colegio Mahatma Gandhi in September 2006  .  Fifteen   DR professionals are working for IVY Comptech, a BPO company based in Hyderabad.
