Reflecting on her time in India, Larson further said, 'Namaste, Aadab.

Larson emphasised the shared progress made in strengthening the U.S.-India partnership. 'It's been an honour to work with so many incredible local leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and so many others to strengthen the U.S.-India partnership,' she said.

She highlighted milestones during her tenure, saying, 'From our education ties, to promoting entrepreneurism, to welcoming new American companies to our region, and inaugurating joint naval exercises, we've accomplished so much together.'

Recalling a landmark event, she said, 'One highlight I'll always remember is the opening of our new consulate building in Nanakaramguda, a symbol of our deepening ties and strong relationship.'

Equally meaningful to her, she noted, were the personal connections she made. 'But as meaningful to me are all the friendships and connections we've built,' she said.

'To everyone I've met and worked with, thank you for your passion, your ideas, and your partnership. I may be leaving Hyderabad, but I'm taking memories and relationships with me that will last a lifetime,' she added.
