Bill Gates visits RBI office in Mumbai, holds discussions with Shaktikanta Das

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates on Tuesday visited the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) office in Mumbai and met Governor Shaktikanta Das. In a tweet, the central bank said that Gates visited the Mumbai’s office and held wide-ranging discussions with Das. 

Gates is in India to explore business opportunities in health, education and other sectors. In his blog, "Gates Notes" last week, Gates said that India gives hope for the future and proved that the country could solve big problems at once even when the world is facing multiple crises.

"I’m headed back to India next week. Although I’ve spent a lot of time there over the years—doing everything from checking out toilets to visiting a village that’s home to the one poorest, most underserved castes in India—I haven’t been back since before the pandemic. I can’t wait to see how much progress has been made in that time," he wrote on his blog Gates Notes.

He even expressed his interest to conduct business and other activities in India.

On Monday, Gates tweeted: “Like every other country on the planet, India has limited resources. But it has shown us how the world can still make progress in spite of that constraint."
