Ambassador Doraiswamy stated, “Our embassy was established in 2012. As the most populous country in the world, we can say that we are culturally unique. We offer various Indian classes here, including dance and yoga. India is not just a country of performing arts but also a land rich in traditional arts.”

He encouraged people to follow the Indian Embassy’s social media accounts and participate in the activities hosted by the embassy. He said, “I invite you to follow our media accounts and engage in our activities.”

Doraiswamy joined the Indian Foreign Service in 1992 after spending a year in journalism. According to the Ministry of External Affairs, he holds a Master’s degree in History from Delhi University.

After completing his in-service training in New Delhi from 1992 to 1993, Doraiswamy was appointed as Third Secretary at the Indian Embassy in Hong Kong in May 1994. He also completed a diploma in the Chinese language from the New Asia Yale-in-Asia Language School at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

In September 1996, he was assigned to the Indian Embassy in Beijing, where he served for nearly four years. Upon returning to the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi in 2000, Doraiswamy took on the role of Deputy Chief of Protocol (Official).
