The Malaysia Odia Association is an apolitical, non-profit and voluntary group formed to provide a platform for promoting cultural and social activities beyond Odisha. This association will cater to bringing back the Odishan culture and tradition followed in our homeland. The group came into existence with the support of all the Odia expatriates working in Malaysia. Currently, we have more than a hundred families who are residing in Malaysia and working in different sectors of the work force. Our numbers are rapidly increasing. Some of the prominent sectors that our Odia brothers and sisters are currently working in, are ranging from Information and Communications technology, tertiary education, Insurance, maritime, Oil and gas, banking, logistics, entrepreneurship, health care, to food and beverage, etc. We are indeed proud of our Malaysian existence originating from the same Odishan roots.

The purpose of this association is not only to promote our culture but also to engage in association service. We are gearing towards helping the local Odia association as well as those in need back home in Odisha. Being in its infancy, we are slowly garnering strength to accomplish our mission.

We would invite all the Odias in Malaysia to register under this association and become a part of this greater cause.
