Satya Nadella Shares with PM Modi a ‘Haunting Image’ from Childhood

The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi will be heading to Silicon Valley this weekend to meet with tech executives about how best to capitalize on the internet revolution going on there.

“I hope that developed countries will fulfill their financial commitments towards development and climate change without in anyway putting the two under the same head”, he said.

Digital billboards denouncing the “regressive” agenda of Modi and his Hindu nationalist political party line major freeways, including Interstate 880 and Highway 101, and protesters representing a range of causes plan to crowd outside the SAP Center in San Jose when he addresses about 18,000 people inside the arena on Sunday night.

At a recent meeting with Indian corporate leaders to discuss ways to bolster the economy amid global slowdown, Modi is reported to have exhorted the Indian industry to take more risks at a time of China’s growth worries.

The diaspora has found a nationalist leader in Modi, who seem to be a force that is connecting Indians worldwide with an aim to make India a progressed nation.

Fortune Editor Alan Murray, who moderated the discussion, said complicated regulations, excessive permitting, confusing bureaucracy, poor infrastructure and overlapping local taxes were raised by the CEOs who urged the Prime Minister to “pick up the pace of change”. Climate change is on both Modi and Obama’s minds and it is also on the menu at the UN.

The threat posed by terror outfits like IS figured prominently during talks Modi had with King Abdullah of Jordan on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session on Friday. They say it could be a veiled attempt to enable the government to monitor private communications and suppress dissent.

Speaking on the occasion, USIBC president Mukesh Aghi said, “We are honored to be part of the prime minister’s visit to the west coast of the United States.

I know that”, Modi said, according to a newsletter issued by Murray.

“India under the prime minister’s leadership is moving in the right direction with “Digital India”, Jacobs said, announcing an immediate investment of $1.5 million for innovation labs in the country to support product designing.

He said India’s path is linked to sustainable development as it is linked to India’s tradition of calling the earth Massachusetts. It is Modi government’s very credibility that is on the line.

Prime Minister Modi also hailed his Digital India initiative as an enterprise for country’s transformation, on a scale which was unmatched in history.

“Don’t you get exhausted Narendra Bhai meeting so many people“, asked his old-time friend Bharat Barai from Chicago on Wednesday night itself when the Prime Minister met about 100 people at the hotel.

“Since we attained freedom, we have focused on ending poverty. Our way to development needs to be sustainable”, he said.
