Existence of neutrino masses and mixing was the first hint for physics beyond the standard model of elementary particles. Most models that explain neutrino masses and mixing would also predict additional physics beyond the standard model. This new physics could manifest itself as sub-dominant effects in neutrino oscillations. On the other hand, neutrino oscillation experiments are reaching precision level. The next generation neutrino experiments aim to finally nail all the missing ingredients of the neutrino conundrum.  These bigger and better experiments can also be used to study sub-dominant effects coming from new physics. We will discuss the most promising forthcoming experiments on the horizon and present the reach of these experiments to physics beyond the standard model.
