BENGALURU: The Indo-U.S. bilateral ties have scaled to new heights with the U.S. India Business Council’s (USIBC) first annual West Coast Summit, entitled as “U.S.-India Technology Partnership: Using Scale and Speed to Bridge the Divide”. The summit was organized at Menlo Park, CA.

The congregation witnessed the likes of John Chambers, chairman of USIBC; Amitabh Kant, CEO of the National Institution of Transforming India (NITI) Aayog; and the President of USIBC Dr. Mukesh Aghi.

The enormous opportunities present in this technological partnership were viewed with great optimism by Chambers. In his discussion on the future of the two nations, the former CEO of Cisco has also applauded Amitabh Kant for his ideas which will ensure the success of Digital India, Skill India, Make in India, and many such government initiatives. Chambers, who admires Prime Minister Narendra Modi, believes that the “Digital India” initiative is set to change the lives of many across India. He also propagated the idea of business and government working together to propel the economic growth. Chambers is also of the opinion that India will soon be the model nation for the rest of the world.

Kant informed that India was a difficult place to do business earlier but with the coming of Modi all that changed. He is of the opinion that India is at the forefront of economic growth.
