"100 days in as U.S. Ambassador to India -- and we've hit the ground running! From advancing a major U.S.-India trade deal, welcoming India into Pax Silica, strengthening defense cooperation, and engaging leaders across government and business -- the momentum is undeniable. I also traveled to Washington to meet with President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Secretary Rubio to deepen this critical partnership. This is just the beginning. The United States and India aren't just talking -- we're delivering results," Gor posted.

Earlier in an interview with DD, Sergio Gor described India as "vitally important to us and an incredible partner," while stating that India-US relations are on an "incredible footing" and indicated several big-ticket announcements on bilateral ties are expected in the coming days and weeks.

"We're looking forward to hosting a ministerial-level Quad meeting in India. This will be the Secretary's first visit to the country, and he is keen to visit not just Delhi but other places as well. India is vitally important to us and an incredible partner. The President also shares a strong relationship with your Prime Minister," Gor told DD News.

Great to see both nations working towards a stronger partnership! 🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸 The Quad ministerial meeting is a good sign for regional stability. But I hope India doesn't compromise on its strategic autonomy.

Trade targets are good, but what about the H1B visa issues? Many of my friends are stuck in processing delays. We need a holistic approach to the relationship, not just trade numbers.

As an American living in Bangalore, I see the potential every day. Indian tech talent and American capital make a powerful combination. Exciting times ahead!

The focus should also be on boosting Indian exports to the US. We export IT, pharma, and textiles but need more market access for dairy and agriculture. Make in India will benefit only if trade is balanced.

The Ambassador's first 100 days have been productive. If the trade deal includes Indian IT services access and reduces tariffs on Harley-Davidsons and almonds, that's a win-win. Looking forward to Secretary Rubio's visit. 👍

Pax Silica initiative sounds interesting - is this about semiconductors? If yes, this could be a game changer for India's electronics manufacturing. But we need to ensure technology transfer happens.
