Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella highlighted the strong ties between India and the US, describing himself as a “product of the bond” shared by the two nations. Nadella made the remarks while addressing over 500 attendees at a special Republic Day reception hosted by the Consulate General of India in Seattle on Sunday at the Bell Harbour Conference Centre.

The event, celebrating India’s 76th Republic Day, featured Washington State Governor Bob Ferguson and Nadella as Guests of Honour. Distinguished attendees included US lawmakers, top government officials, and Mayors from ten cities.

Praising the leadership of both countries, Nadella acknowledged their efforts in leveraging technology to improve education, healthcare, public services, and small business productivity. Earlier this month, Nadella met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, expressing enthusiasm for Microsoft's AI-first initiatives in India and its ambitious expansion plans.

Governor Ferguson lauded the Indian-American community for its global contributions, adding that as the 24th Governor of Washington State, he looked forward to strengthening ties with the Consulate General of India in Seattle.

The celebrations also received a special mention in the Washington State Senate. A resolution moved by Senators Manka Dhingra and Vandana Slatter recognized India’s Republic Day and the growing friendship between the two countries.

Cultural exhibits such as One District, One Product and the photo display India Through Tim's Eyes showcased India's diversity and heritage. A curated dance performance titled Natyam earned widespread applause.

Seattle honoured India’s Republic Day by illuminating iconic landmarks, including the Seattle Great Wheel and Columbia Center, in the hues of the Indian tricolour, reflecting the vibrant India-US partnership.

US lawmakers, including Rep. Suzan DelBene, Rep. Adam Smith, and Rep. Kim Schrier, joined the event to commend India’s achievements as the world’s largest democracy, underscoring the deep and enduring ties between the two nations.
