Noticeable in our hiring pipeline across iOS/C#/Java stacks.

Used to be a pretty diverse mix across Asian and Eastern European candidates, with a rare white US person mixed in.

Now it is pre-dominantly Indian.

Really don't like single-ethnic teams, so hiring is getting even more challenging in the Bay Area. We've also opened dev centers in the US mid-west and Canada to help with this.

I do not know why you are being downvoted.

I will use my "Indian privilege" to try to guess the answer to your question. As an ethnic group with more recent immigration, unless the job requires federal security clearance, most of the Indians are likely to be Immigrants, with Citizens in there (most likely in a bit senior positions).
