  Speaker 8: All right, folks, it is my distinct honor to invite
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: into the show Consul General of India, doctor kJ Sweeny Vassa,
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: how are you, sir?
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Good morning, I'm doing good. Good to link up with
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: you and your viewers.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: Well, it's really really nice to have you, an incredible
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: honor to have you on the show, of course, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: well let's dive into this. You know, what does the
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: day to day representing India in Los Angeles actually look
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: like for you? And what is the part of your
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: job that the press release doesn't tell us.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: You know, we just opened our newest consulate in the
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: US in Los Angeles. It is the eighth consulate and
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: you know, it's been a journey, if I may say so.
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: And most people see only the ceremonial side of diplomacy,
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: which is reflected in the media or in the press
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: releases or in the interactions, but much of our work
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: happens quietly behind the scenes.
• 30:36
  Speaker 18: You know.
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: A typical day involves maybe facilitating business and investment conversations,
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: supporting students, researchers, engaging elected representatives and local governments, maybe
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: working with universities, tech companies, cultural institutions, issuing visas passports,
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: helping Indian citizens in district US, and of course working
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: with our vibrant diaspora. We also coordinate with authorities, you know,
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: whenever there are emergencies which affect our community. And as
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: the first ever consul General of India and Los Angeles,
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: my responsibility also.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Is to build the institution.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: So since we are establishing the newest diplomatic presence for
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: India in our engagement with the south western part of US,
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: with southern California, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico, which happens
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: to be my juridiction, that also means, you know, building
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: partnerships that should endure for decades, maybe in healthcare, education, innovation, entertainment, defense, aerospace, biotech,
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: clean energy importantly and innovation. So much of the diplomacy
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: that we do is not about generating headlines. It's about,
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: you know, solving problems patiently, creating that trust and also
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: opening doors for people to people contact and for others
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: to engage in this conversation.
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: That's incredible. You're representing India in the entertainment capital of
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: the world, let's just call it. And from your seat
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: at the intersection of these two industries, what does the
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: Consulate actually do to help Indian artists filmmakers you just
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: touched on it. You are facilitating investment, You're facilitating business
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: back and forth between this bridge, as you say, But
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: what are we on the culture side of things not
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: aware that we should be. You know, entertainment today is.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Seen as a form of diplomacy, soft power, if you
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: may will so our role in the Consul it is,
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: you know, not just to help produce films or you
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: know too artistic content. That's not our job, sure, but
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: you know, but we are working to create an enabling ecosystem.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: We connect filmmakers with institutions. We facilitate conversations on filming
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: opportunities in India. We encourage collaborations, we support film festivals,
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: we support cultural exchanges and of course help artists navigate
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: protocol issues, visa issues whenever appropriate. But what many I
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: think may not realize is that there is a tremendous
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: appetite in India for this global collaboration. India, of course,
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: as you know, offers world class creative talent, exciting and
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: diverse filming locations, but at the same time we have
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: advanced production capabilities and also one of the world's largest audiences. Increasingly,
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: India is moving beyond simply you know, showcasing its own
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: culture abroad. We are encouraging through our diplomatic missions and
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: consulates genuine co creation, if I may say, where stories
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: are told together and audiences are shared across borders. So
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: we believe in propagating india soft power. And at the
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: same time this is the day and age. As you know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: India's investment capacities have also increased and our tech has
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: really grown manyfold, which actually helps in the use of
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: modern tech in Hollywood, right.
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, incredible stuff there. When you look at the diaspora,
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: doctor kJ you it's often talked about as if it's
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: only one thing, but there's so many nuances to it.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: It isn't just you know, a bunch of second generation
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: Indian American kids who have never seen India. It's not
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: just recent immigrants navigating both of their identities. At the
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: same time, there's culture kids growing up in between them.
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: You know, what are the I asked for as biggest
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: misconceptions about India today and vice versa. What are some
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: things that you find yourself having to really connect as
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: to the understanding of each other's populations.
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: Ah, okay, you know Indian that's for the US, for example,
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: is about five point eight million at the last count,
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: and most of them came to the US, for example,
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: decades ago, but the modern crop, of course, came in
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: the last two decades.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: India, as you know today is changing at a very
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: remarkable speed.
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: You know, our infrastructure, our digital public services, manufacturing innovation,
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: our startup ecosystem, our education and our research facilities, they
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: all transformed significantly. And now, as you know, India is
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: most probably the fourth or the fifth largest economy in
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: the world. We are a very young demographically, very young,
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: the largest demograph of course, but we are also a
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: very ambitious nation which is participating actively and increasingly shaping
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: global conversations, global geopolitics. Conversely, people in India sometimes underestimate
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: the complexity of diaspora experiences Indian Americans, of course, they
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: also balance multiple identities while contributing fully to the societies
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: they now call home. And they are not simply seen
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: as overseas Indians. They are reds I believe, which connect cultures,
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: they connect economies, they connect ideas, they connect richness, which
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: you know, I think once we recognize that richness, which
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: will make our relationship more and more stronger. There are
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: commonly health misconceptions which I think are propagated by some
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: Westered interests in the media and social media. But I
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: think in this day and age, people will be able
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: to make out what is truth and what is not.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: A simple fact check will reveal how hollow these misconceptions are.
• 37:10
  Speaker 21: Right right.
• 37:12
  Speaker 8: You know, as I listened to you, doctor kJ, there's
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: a tremendous feeling that I get that this job isn't
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: just an official capacity. It comes across very personal to
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: me in terms of what you're doing. What has surprised
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: you about this job that you're doing that you know
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: perhaps you may not have anticipated coming into this. Of course,
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: there's this element of being the diplomat that you are,
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: of course, but beyond that, what is it that we
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: need to know about your role that sometimes we don't
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: understand or don't quite get to see.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: Thank you for that question.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: I issue a medical doctor, and when I decided to
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: move on, it was just not only for the passion
• 37:56
  Speaker 7: of representing the country abroad, but at the same time.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: I believe sincerely that I could play a bigger role in.
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: The policy making rather than being one doctor somewhere diplomacy
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: in that way, you know, through my twenty four years
• 38:11
  Speaker 7: of service, it has sometimes become deeply personal. Sometimes it
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: means maybe helping a students facing an unexpected crisis, or
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: connecting safe artists with the right institution, working with entrepreneurs,
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: working with businesses to build meaningful partnerships across the countries,
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: or maybe simply listening to community members who need guidance.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: What I have discovered in the last two decades is
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: that some of the most meaningful diplomatic outcomes, you know,
• 38:46
  Speaker 7: begin with small conversations rather than formal meetings. Not everything
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: is like you know, across the meeting the table or
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: finding MOUs or treaties.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: We crely believe what.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: My bosses taught me, trust is built on a person
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: to person basis. I believe sincerely that the most often
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: the greatest value a diplomat can add is basically simply
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: bringing together people you might otherwise never have met in
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: their lives. And at the same time, this facilitating role
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: for me, I think I thoroughly enjoy it. I sometimes
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: say I'm like the priest who gets the bride and
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: the bridegroom together. God has given us that role, so
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: let's make the most of it.
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: Spoken like a true Indian, the highest form of a
• 39:38
  Speaker 8: social compliment being the matchmaker. So there you go, doctor Swine. Indeed,
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: you know, let's look forward. Let's throw a flag I
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: had twenty years from now, and you know you are
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: sitting back on we will call let's just say, a
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: legacy of what you've done here in Los Angeles. I
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: would like to say twenty years from now, and if
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: we were to sit down at that time, what would
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: you say would be the biggest accomplishment of Los Angeles'
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: impact towards not only the diasporas up but towards relationship
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: between India and the US on a greater level.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: Let me see through the looking glass, as we say,
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: I would sincerely hope that history records are favorably that
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: Los Angeles has now become one of the say, the
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: defining gateways of the INDO US partnership, not only because
• 40:32
  Speaker 7: of trade or technology, but because I sincerely believe that
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: creativity and innovation brings both our societies closer together.
• 40:41
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: I hope the future will say that maybe this will
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: is a place where say, artists, musicians, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and
• 40:51
  Speaker 7: innovators and maybe educators have built those lasting collaborations that
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: have enriched both countries. Sometimes we say that the you know,
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: the INDO US partnership is the most defining partnership of
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: the twenty fifth century. I hope you know that they
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: will say that this first Consulate General of India and
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: Los Angeles was able to maybe transform the existing goodwill
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: into enduring institutions and partnerships. I'll be very happy if
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: the future generations inherits more stronger types, maybe in culture,
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: or maybe improving our mutual understanding and the greater opportunities
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: for collaboration because of the work that we have started today.
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: That that I think would be the most enduring and
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: meaningful legacy which would be remembered.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's very exciting to hear. If all those things
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: do indeed workout, I think you've been more than successful.
• 41:55
  Speaker 8: Those are incredible achievements to accomplish, and I think that
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: you know, looking at your story, doctor you, I have
• 42:03
  Speaker 8: no doubt as to that happening. And for us here
• 42:06
  Speaker 8: in Los Angeles and in the US, we're very excited
• 42:08
  Speaker 8: about this chapter. So thank you for that. I have
• 42:11
  Speaker 8: a couple of questions before I let you go. One
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: being that I ask this question quite frequently to our guests,
• 42:19
  Speaker 8: especially some of our esteem guests that have a story
• 42:22
  Speaker 8: that is really interesting. And when I ask this question,
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: it's more so to direct it towards some of the
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: younger audience that's out there. They look at you with
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: wide eyes, they say, wow, console general, and how do
• 42:37
  Speaker 8: I one day achieve a position like this? What do
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: I need to do to kind of go into this
• 42:44
  Speaker 8: line let's just call it. Is there any piece of
• 42:47
  Speaker 8: advice that you would give a young listener out there
• 42:50
  Speaker 8: as to how to engage themselves into diplomacy, how to
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: learn about it, and most importantly, how do I get
• 42:57
  Speaker 8: there one day?
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: In India, it's a different system actually, you know, for us,
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: it's a series of free exams which you have to
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: go through once you finish your graduation. Uh, you know
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: how to become a diplomat. Basically you have an exam
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: where you join the Indian Foreign Service after you clear
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: that with eye flying colors. But at the same time,
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: US has a different system where you know, the journey
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: is quite different, if I may.
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: Say so, because.
• 43:31
  Speaker 7: Here also there is a series of exams. But at
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: the same time, you know, what I sincerely believe is
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: that all you knew it is intellectual curiosity. You need empathy,
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: you need integrity, you need resilience, you need.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: A maybe a genuine interest in serving one country. And
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: you know, my advice to all of them is go with.
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: A passion, not just to you know, merely study. To
• 43:59
  Speaker 7: become a diplomat, you just need to pass an exam.
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: You have to study maybe the overall history of the world.
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: You understand how the world functions, you understand the economics,
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: you understand science, you understand international relations. You have to
• 44:16
  Speaker 7: cultivate the ability to maybe listen before you speak.
• 44:22
  Speaker 22: And.
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: Learn how to read and write clearly. And you should
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: be widely right, of course, as I mentioned. But at
• 44:30
  Speaker 7: the same time, maybe try to learn at least one
• 44:33
  Speaker 7: foreign language.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: You know, that's something you know basic stuff, and you know,
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: read more about.
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: Public management, read about because nowadays diplomacy is very multi disciplinary. Yes,
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: so for the current day diplomacy, I think it extends
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: far beyond politics. It's basically we all need to understand
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: about cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, climate change, supply chains, critical minerals,
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: emerging technologies.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: The list is endless.
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: But at the same time, you have to develop a
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: good communication skill and improve upon that, build a cultural sensitivity,
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: learn about ethical leadership, and maybe do a bit on
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: negotiation skills.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: But enjoy it.
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: You know, I would suggest to the young people travel
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: whenever you can learn languages, you engage with different cultures,
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: with different people. If you read every day and then
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: you do all these things, I think you will develop
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: the ability to see issues from various perspectives. You know,
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: the promise is not about winning arguments. It's about creating opportunities.
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: It is about building trust. But at the same time,
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: remember you're fighting for your country, so you are to
• 45:53
  Speaker 7: advance your national interests. But at the same time you
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: should also think that you're working for the greater good,
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: building the international peace and cooperation across the world. So
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: be in Ober, to be compassionate and be committed.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: That's my message.
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: I want to thank you for sharing that and for
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: sharing all of this wisdom with us over this call today.
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: To your point, there's something going on here in North
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: America that seems to be achieving all of those points
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: that you just brought up. And it's the World Cup
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: right now, and so doctor kJ Srinavasa, sir, who you
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: got in the World Cup right now is and of
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: course India is not there, and we'll get into that
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: topic some other time. But who do you like so
• 46:37
  Speaker 8: far in the World Cup?
• 46:39
  Speaker 5: You know, my son wants Spain to win. I personally
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: have my choice.
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: My beds are on Argentina and fans, so let's see
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: who gets there.
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: Smart man.
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: He's a you know, a difficult choice because these three
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: teams are really playing good there. You never know, one
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: bad day for them and others can get a chance.
• 47:04
  Speaker 7: But you know, it's so exciting to be part of
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: this time, you know, being in LA being part of
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: the World Cup. Next year you have the World Series
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: and then you have the LA Olympics. I think we
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: are working closely with the LA Olympics team because we
• 47:18
  Speaker 7: will have a big contingent of course and looking forward
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: to you know, engaging with you all on what India
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: is going to do. But by the way, I want
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: to inform all your listeners that we will have an
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: India House which will represent India during the LA Olympics,
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: where India's culture, art, entertainment will be on display in.
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: A big way.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: I hope all of your listeners will join us in
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: exploring India through that lens.
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: That's very exciting. We're really excited about the next few
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: years here in Los Angeles and of course your involvement
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: and all that and the presence of India here across
• 47:51

• 56:51
  Speaker 8: I wanted to thank doctor kJ Strimi Vasa for joining
• 56:56
  Speaker 8: us today on the bridge and in all my time
• 56:59
  Speaker 8: in this business. Yes, I'll tell you what I've come
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: to look for. When I sit down with somebody in
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: a role like the one that doctor kJ. Shrinibasa holds,
• 57:07
  Speaker 8: it isn't how well they know the talking points. It's
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: whether the room feels different when they leave it. Doctor Srinivasa,
• 57:15
  Speaker 8: Consul General of India and Los Angeles, sat with me
• 57:18
  Speaker 8: today and by the end of the hour I understood
• 57:21
  Speaker 8: exactly why this conversation mattered. He came to diplomacy for medicine,
• 57:26
  Speaker 8: and that single detail changes everything. He listens like somebody
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: trained to look at a whole system before offering a solution.
• 57:34
  Speaker 8: He understands that the playing field he operates on is
• 57:36
  Speaker 8: why Los Angeles asks different things of him than Delhi does.
• 57:41
  Speaker 8: The entertainment industry asks different things again, and the diaspora
• 57:45
  Speaker 8: asks something else entirely, and his instinct to cross all
• 57:49
  Speaker 8: of it is the same. The solution exists, and let's
• 57:52
  Speaker 8: go find it. That's not diplomatic language. That's a doctor's
• 57:56
  Speaker 8: language applied to bridge building. He is charismatic, an equal
• 58:01
  Speaker 8: measure to visionary fluent in the media space, in what
• 58:05
  Speaker 8: I call the imagination industry. And he's clear eyed about
• 58:09
  Speaker 8: how India moves into it and how it moves back
• 58:12
  Speaker 8: into India. He represents the new India, a country that
• 58:16
  Speaker 8: isn't waiting to be discovered by the world, but is
• 58:19
  Speaker 8: thoughtful and intentional about how it sums it up. And
• 58:24
  Speaker 8: underneath the professional package is a man who is enjoying
• 58:27
  Speaker 8: his work, not performing it. He's living it the way
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: a physician lives medicine, because the calling is personal. He
• 58:36
  Speaker 8: was clear with me, he represents the interests of a country.
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: But what became just as clear across the hour is
• 58:43
  Speaker 8: that he is representing his passion for humanity in equal measure.
• 58:48
  Speaker 8: Bridge building as vocation, not as vocabulary. Twenty years from now,
• 58:53
  Speaker 8: when somebody writes the history of how India and the
• 58:56
  Speaker 8: diaspora built their relationship in this era, kJ Stremi Vasa
• 59:01
  Speaker 8: is one of the names in the l A chapter
• 59:03
  Speaker 8: of that story. I hope you had a great time
• 59:06
  Speaker 8: listening to this conversation. I'll leave you with this song.
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: It's called Hajji Mustan. By May and do have a
• 59:13
