Prime Minister Luxon welcomed Serko’s participation in the mission. “Serko is an example of New Zealand’s growing technology export sector—an innovative company that has successfully scaled globally while remaining deeply connected to its Kiwi roots,” said Prime Minister Luxon. “Its investment in India demonstrates the strength of our tech industry and the opportunities for New Zealand businesses in international markets. I’m delighted to have Serko as part of this mission and look forward to supporting their continued success.”
