Meanwhile, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya shared photos and video of the US Ambassador enjoying auto ride.
"Delighted to welcome HE Sergio Gor, US Ambassador to India, to Bengaluru today."
Surya said that they had an engaging conversation on the growing India US partnership, especially in trade, technology and innovation following the interim trade agreement, over some masala dosa and strong coffee at Filter Coffee at Indiranagar.
"Also introduced him to Namma Auto. A memorable ride indeed."
In another post, Surya stated that Bengaluru truly represents the journey from masala dosa to machine learning, blending tradition with cutting-edge innovation and plays a vital role in strengthening economic and people to people ties between our two democracies.
"With over 700 American companies and 43% of India's software exports coming from Bengaluru, our city is central to US India economic ties. Home to 40% of India's GCCs, Bengaluru continues to drive innovation led partnership between our two democracies," Surya noted.
Sharing a video, Surya said that Gor brings uncommon energy and dynamism to diplomacy, and a true belief in India-US's limitless potential, and termed Bengaluru as the crown jewel of the India - US partnership.
