The Consulate General of India, San Francisco hosted a roundtable with a delegation from the Indian Institute of Science led by IISc Director Prof. Govindan Rangarajan on May 21, bringing together IISc leadership, alumni, Silicon Valley technologists and startup founders to advance India-U.S. collaboration in deep-tech and innovation. Consul General Dr. K Srikar Reddy noted IISc's legacy, including nearly 150 incubated startups, and India's national push in AI, semiconductors, and quantum, highlighting that India is among a few trusted partner countries in Pax Silica, a U.S.-led semiconductor and AI supply chain alliance. He called on the diaspora to bridge the gap, connecting India's innovators with Silicon Valley's capital and global reach. IISc Director showcased the institution's groundbreaking work — from AI tools detecting cancer at scale across rural India and a medical school uniquely embedding medicine with science and engineering, to a national Quantum Computing Hub and landmark research on Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in the Indian population — sparking rich conversation on deepening collaboration in AI, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing.
