The title of "Governor-General" in India was held by several officials during British rule, but it was Lord Mountbatten, the last Governor-General of India, who oversaw the transition of India to independence in 1947. The practice of appointing a Governor-General was effectively abolished following the adoption of the Indian Constitution in 1950, which established India as a republic with a President as the head of state.

Does the U.S. have a position like governor general?
Governors General are the chief executive officers and commanders-in-chief* of their countries. The chief executive officer and commander-in-chief of the United States is the President of the United States. Governors General also are the personal representatives of a non-resident monarch. The United States does not have a monarch, and its head of state (the President) resides in the country, so this role can have no equivalent. The President of the United States is best known for his role as head of government, whereby the President actively directs the administration of the government. This role, while formally vested in governors general, is generally carried out by a prime minister. *This is true in at least Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It is understandably difficult to find this information about all 15 Commonwealth Realms with governors general. However, in all commonwealth realms, any role given to the Queen is generally carried out by the governor general, irrespective of whether or not it is formally delegated, so this isn't a big issue.
