9. Srikanth 'Sri' Srinivasan

Srinivasan has been nominated for the post of federal judge to the US court of appeals for the American capital, by President Barack Obama. This court is "often called the nation's second-highest court" and if confirmed Srinivasan will be the first-ever Indian American to hold a prominent federal judicial post in the US.

Obama called Srinivasan a “trailblazer” who “will serve the court with distinction and excellence”, while declaring the nomination. Presently, he is the Principal Deputy Solicitor General of the United States.
