Modi's ''Make in India'' Pitch To 500 Top Global CEOs

NEW DELHI: Some 500 top chief executives from across the globe are set to convene at the Vigyan Bhavan convention centre here Thursday to log in to Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s "Make in India" campaign at an event reminiscent of the Vibrant Gujarat Summit when he was the state`s chief minister, but on a much grander scale.

From top honchos of large Indian conglomerates like the House of Tatas, the two Reliance Groups and the Aditya Vikram Birla empire to chief executives of some of the best-known global companies like Mercedes, Airbus, Vodafone, Honda and Samsung have confirmed their attendance at the event where Modi will make a strong pitch for investments.

This apart, the assembled corporate guests will also get to meet and interact with some ministers in the prime minister`s council, holding key portfolios in areas like finance, commerce, industry and infrastructure, officials said.

At Thursday`s event, the prime minister will also launch a "Make in India" portal, which among other issues, will offer a platform to address queries from potential investors by a panel of top officials, including those that are more complex in nature.
