On August 22, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the nomination of Sergio Gor as the next U.S. Ambassador to India, as well as the Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs.
Gor is 38 (soon to be 39) and currently serves as Director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office. He will retain that role until his Senate confirmation.
He replaces Eric Garcetti, who served from May 11, 2023, to January 20, 2025; the position has since been held by interim Charge d’Affaires Jorgan K. Andrews.
In his announcement, Trump described Gor as a “great friend” and trusted ally, praising his effectiveness in filling over 95% of federal appointments with loyalists.
