GoDaddy CEO Aman Bhutani has said that India is among the company's fastest-growing markets, adding that the pace of change in the country has 'definitely accelerated' in recent years. Bhutani, who is of Indian origin and moved to the United States more than 25 years ago, made the remarks on the sidelines of a gathering of Indian American technology professionals in Seattle on 21 September 2026.

India's Market Momentum

Bhutani described GoDaddy as the world's largest domain registrar and said its India operations were performing strongly. 'We love India as a market. We love growing there and we have a ton of customers in India and it's one of our fastest growing markets,' he said. The overall domain registration business in the country was still expanding, he noted, pointing to substantial and growing Indian customer base as evidence of the opportunity ahead.

A Personal Lens on India's Transformation

Drawing on his own experience of returning to India after decades in the US, Bhutani said the visible scale of development had grown considerably with each visit. He described revisiting places transformed by construction and urban activity to the point where familiar surroundings felt like 'a different city or country.' 'That pace of change in India has definitely accelerated,' he said. His pride in India's progress, he added, remained as strong as it was when he first left for the United States.

Seattle's Indian American Tech Community

The Seattle event brought together Indian American technology professionals and visiting representatives, including India's ambassador. Bhutani noted that the city has a sizeable Indian American technology community, with many members keen to stay engaged in India's development. 'One is always surprised to see how many of us there are here,' he said. He described the gathering as an opportunity to hear India's priorities and consider where the diaspora's expertise could be most useful.

Role of the Indian Consulate

Bhutani also credited the Indian consulate general in Seattle with strengthening community ties. Its events had brought professionals together, facilitated introductions, and helped build a network, he said. 'It has been fantastic to have a consulate general here in Seattle,' Bhutani remarked, calling that work a significant asset for the community. He said listening to the ambassador helped members understand what contribution they could realistically make to India's continued growth.

Diaspora Engagement: More Than Observation

Bhutani emphasised that interest within the Indian American community had moved beyond simply following news from India to actively seeking participation in the country's development. 'The number one thing for me is that people are very eager to participate, people are very eager to understand the story and be part of India continuing to develop,' he said. This shift — from observer to contributor — reflects a broader trend among high-skilled Indian diaspora communities in US technology hubs. As India's digital economy scales, executives like Bhutani occupy a unique vantage point bridging commercial opportunity and personal connection.
