Atul Keshap, a former U.S. envoy to India, has been designated as President of the U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC), declared by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Ambassador Keshap lately served in New Delhi as United States Charge d’Affaires to India, leading the U.S. Embassy team. He has held several senior U.S. government assignments and is a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Department of State.
Keshap was born in June 1971 in Nigeria. His father was Punjab-born Dr. Keshap Chander Sen, who served as a UN development economist.
His mother, Zoe Calvert, had earlier served in the US Foreign Service when she met and married Dr. Sen in London. She had also served at the US embassy in India.
“The U.S.-India Business Council is a critical and vital voice in driving ever closer commercial cooperation between the world’s two largest democracies,” said Myron Brilliant, Executive Vice President and Head of the International Division of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “We’re ecstatic to have Ambassador Keshap as USIBC’s next President. His deep expertise and deep global network will empower the organization to even greater heights and serve our members well.”
The U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC) represents top global companies working across the United States, India, and the Indo-Pacific.
