Glimpses from the Los Angeles And India Rising Skyward Together event at the new consulate / Pallavi Mehra
The skyline of Los Angeles has long symbolized ambition and global reach, but the 45th floor of the AON Center in downtown LA has now taken on a new diplomatic significance. India has opened its first Consulate in Los Angeles at 707 Wilshire Blvd, marking a major expansion of its diplomatic footprint on the U.S. West Coast.
Occupying the entire 45th floor, the new Consulate will serve Southern California as well as Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. While consular services have already begun, the space recently hosted its first formal gathering, an event that underscored California’s growing centrality to the Indo-U.S. commercial, technological, and cultural relationship. With Los Angeles joining San Francisco, California is now the only state in the world to host two Indian Consulates.
