Washington, Wednesday, July 10, 2024:

The US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) is thrilled to welcome, Surya (Sury) Kant, Senior Advisor, Tata Sons Private Limited, to the Board of Directors.
Sury is an industry veteran of 40 years and leads various important initiatives between the United States and India in his role at Tata Sons Private Limited. He advises many companies across the Tata group on their business strategies in the US, helping them further expand and chart new horizons. Sury also represented Tata Sons at the launch of the U.S.-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET), a key bilateral initiative, as the U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan outlined in his recent visit to New Delhi.
USISPF President and CEO, Dr. Mukesh Aghi said: “I am thrilled to welcome Sury to the USISPF Board of Directors. USISPF’s growth is demonstrated by the growing strategic partnership between Washington and New Delhi. Sury’s leadership will help chart and guide the contours of the strategic partnership. Sury understands the changing dynamic of tech, startups, and STEM education in fostering stronger partnerships between Washington and New Delhi. I am confident that with his inputs and expertise, we will explore newer avenues and deeper areas of collaboration between the United States and India.”
Sury has made significant contributions to the growth of the Indian IT industry and the Tata group’s flagship IT and consulting services company, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). He led operations in various global offices (the US, Japan, the UK, and North India) as the head of these geographies. Under his leadership, the TCS North America annual revenues grew from $1 billion to $13 billion. He oversaw TCS’ transition to the Title Sponsor of the New York City Marathon, the world’s largest marathon.
Commenting on his appointment, Sury said: “The relationship between India and the United States has grown from strength to strength. USISPF’s efforts to foster the bilateral connections is crucial and I look forward to working with the other board members as we aim ever higher to realize the full potential of this unique partnership.”
