After his White House tenure, Subramanyam worked as a lawyer with technology startups and launched his own business in Loudoun County, Virginia. He also volunteered as an EMT and firefighter. In 2019, he became the first South Asian American elected to the Virginia General Assembly, representing the state's evolving demographic and tech-centered economy. He continued building on his technology policy expertise in state office before being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024.
