“Seattle’s tech industry could get a boost from the new consulate of India set to open soon.

Technology will be a key focus for the Seattle-area consulate, said Prakash Gupta, consulate general of India for the new hub.

“There are a lot of brilliant, sharp minds here at the cutting edge of the next frontier of technology,” Gupta told GeekWire.

Gupta, a longtime diplomat for the Indian Foreign Service who previously did stints in New York City, Shanghai, and Jakarta, arrived in Seattle last month. His team is seeking a permanent office in the Seattle region, and plans to have 25-to-30 employees once everything is up and running.

Discussions about the consulate have bubbled for years, but were fortified earlier this year during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the White House in June.

Technical cooperation was a point of emphasis in the meeting between Modi and President Biden — and will be a top priority for the Seattle outpost as well, given the strength of the region’s tech ecosystem that includes Microsoft, Amazon, and hundreds of other companies.

“This is the tech hub of the Pacific Northwest,” Gupta said.

The consulate hopes to serve as a resource for tech companies, investors, and workers in both Seattle and India”.
