Eric Garcetti, a dedicated public servant, educator, and diplomat, was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to India following a bipartisan confirmation on March 15, 2023. Before assuming his ambassadorial role, Garcetti served twelve years on the Los Angeles City Council, including six years as City Council President. His commitment to public service was further recognized when he was elected as the 42nd Mayor of Los Angeles in 2013, setting a record as the youngest individual to hold that position.
In 2017, Garcetti’s leadership earned him an unprecedented re-election with the widest margin in the city’s history. His time as mayor was marked by his focus on improving city infrastructure, addressing climate challenges, and enhancing community outreach. Now, as Ambassador to India, Garcetti’s extensive background in governance and his commitment to public service continue to shape his diplomatic efforts in strengthening U.S.-India relations.
