It has been informed by the White House that the names of two Indian Americans Puneet Ranjan and Rajesh Subramaniam are included in this list. Both of them will be members of the Export Council.
Name of 25 people included in the list
The appointment of these two is of great importance because the Export Council is the most important body to look into matters of international trade, in such a situation, having two Indian-American members in it can give very good results. In addition, Mark D. Ein has been named Chairman of the Council, and Rosalind Brewer as Vice Chair. A total of 25 people including two Indian Americans are included in this list.
