Masala dosa, filter coffee and auto ride: US ambassador Sergio Gor soaks in Bengaluru flavour accompanied by Tejasvi Surya

Bengaluru: US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor soaked in the local flavour with crispy masala dosa, hot filter coffee and a quintessential autorickshaw ride during a visit to the city on Monday evening.

Accompanied by L S Tejasvi Surya at a restaurant in Indiranagar, the 39-year-old envoy discussed the India–US partnership, particularly in trade, technology and innovation, following the interim trade agreement, the Bangalore South MP tweeted.

Bengaluru hosts over 700 American companies, accounts for 43% of India’s software exports, and is home to 40% of the country’s Global Capability Centres (GCCs), Surya said.

The United States has also announced plans to open a consulate in Bengaluru, fulfilling a long-pending demand.
