US-India Social // DC took place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM in Washington, DC. It was hosted by The Dialogue America, with Nihal J. Krishan and Kazim Rizvi listed as hosts on the event page.
What the event covered
The event page described a relaxed Sunday evening of cocktails, conversation, food and networking. It was billed as a "bit of khana, a bit of masala" for people working across the US-India tech corridor, from Washington to Delhi. There was no formal program and no speakers were listed. The format was an informal social rather than a panel or pitch session.
Who it was for
The social was aimed at people in the US-India tech community, including founders, technologists and others working on technology between the two countries. The page was listed under the Tech category on Luma, said spots were limited and required registration through the event page.
Hosts
- Nihal J. Krishan, whose Luma profile describes him as an AI and tech policy journalist and scholar
- Kazim Rizvi
Venue
The event page lists the location as Bossa Bistro and Lounge, 2463 18th St NW, Washington, DC 20009. Earlier listings had named The LINE DC on Euclid Street NW, so anyone checking old notes should know the published event page gives Bossa Bistro as the venue.
About the organizer and how to find future events
The Dialogue America ran the event through Luma. No separate events calendar was linked from the page. The hosts' Luma profiles show their other hosted events, and following them is the most direct way to catch the next social. Nihal J. Krishan's profile is at luma.com/user/usr-23Ap7KmNQgdfM6D, and Kazim Rizvi's is at luma.com/user/usr-oMpIJplaFBflVii. For a founder new to the DMV, socials like this are a low-key way to meet people working on cross-border tech and policy.
