The U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) convened a high-level business roundtable in Austin focused on what it called the "Austin-India Advantage," bringing together business leaders, government officials and industry stakeholders to discuss opportunities for strengthening economic ties between Texas and India.
The roundtable was held in partnership with the Austin Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce, the U.S.-India Chamber of Commerce Austin, and Opportunity Austin, according to USIBC.

USIBC President Atul Keshap was joined by D.C. Manjunath, consul general of India in Houston, along with regional business leaders including Jeremy Martin of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, Mark Hanson of the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce, Anupam Govil of the U.S.-India Chamber of Commerce Austin, and Corey Rose of Opportunity Austin.
Participants discussed regional and bilateral economic priorities, with a focus on expanding trade, investment and innovation-driven partnerships between Texas and India.
According to USIBC, the discussions highlighted Austin's growing role as a technology and innovation hub and underscored increasing momentum in the Texas-India economic relationship. Business leaders and local officials emphasized the importance of state-level partnerships, cross-border investment and collaboration across emerging industries.
Founded in 1975 at the request of the U.S. and Indian governments, USIBC represents companies operating in both countries and advocates for stronger commercial ties between the world's two largest democracies. The organization maintains offices in Washington and New Delhi and works closely with government and industry leaders on bilateral economic issues.
The Austin meeting comes as the city's Indian-American business community continues to promote the region as a destination for technology and artificial intelligence investment. Earlier this year, the U.S.-India Chamber of Commerce Austin Chapter hosted its third annual AI Impact Summit, where business leaders highlighted the Austin-San Antonio corridor's growing role in AI infrastructure and innovation.
