The Modi surname is associated with the "Modi" gotra, which is primarily linked to the Vaishya community in India. Gotras are lineage or clan systems used in Hindu society to identify ancestral roots. In some contexts, individuals with the Modi surname may also be connected to various sub-castes or regional variations, but the most common gotra attributed to the Modi surname is indeed "Modi."

Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, belongs to the Gujarati OBC (Other Backward Classes) community, specifically the Modh-Ghanchi sub-caste, which is traditionally associated with the oil pressers' profession.
