Congratulations to my friend Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has captured a third term in office, following India’s general election. When I reflect back on my first meeting with PM Modi, I recall being struck right away with his humble yet courageous spirit and also his bold vision for India. His Digital India initiative is one of the best I have ever seen, and recent major partnerships in defense, technology, and more are a clear indicator of the country’s growth trajectory. As I said at the Kennedy Center last June, I trust PM Modi with my life and I believe India will become the #1 GDP in the world, in large part because of his efforts. I look forward to collaborating further to make the US-India partnership the strongest in the world as the Chairman of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum. Keep an eye on India – I, for one, will continue to be the biggest bull on the country under his leadership.
"humble yet courageous spirit and also his bold vision for India" - is this what the cool kids are calling Hindutva and Bulldozer Babas these days?
How much money did Cisco make by selling false dreams of 100 smart cities. Unfortunately the outgoing PM was known to be magnanimous and benevolent in making his friends richer....you ought to congratulate yourself on more money coming into your accounts...

More Indians need to understand this instead of following liberal ideology! Nothing good has come out of it. Honorable PM Modiji is working on bringing back the Vedic glory of India. 🙏

Omg! Recently, I have been studying about case studies in my MBA classes at Stanford University Graduate School of Business from ex Cisco CEO - John Chambers and now I am thrilled to see his post quoting and recognizing - "Digi India Initiative" and how US has always helped India to grow exponentially. Incredible digital growth has happened in India over last decade. From pani puri to pizza in XR/VR space and chandrayana to cloud, from resiliency to ram temple, from bio hack to bio tech - the most diversified and digitization has been rapidly taking over in India. I am excited to study more on how this partnership will benefit both nations in tech world and economics. 😍

John, working with you through our executive office at Global One, Asia was an emerging market and has worked hard to evolve as you captured. We can both agree trust is number one as always! Prime Minister’s Modi ji, Prenam. It is good to see how hard work and struggles that our parents outside of India is fruitful and this fruit is sweeter. With kind respects, your daughter Sunita Kachhwaha Saini.

John Chambers I respect and admire you for all the time & learning at Cisco together, John. India’s spend on technology versus basic humanitarian services is very questionable. Moreover, India is helping Russia to finance war crimes against the Ukrainian people so while I applaud your international relationships (encouraging you to do more in this critically important area) as we are all better together, maybe India could put people over profits or discounted oil. Espousing tech investments as bold and courageous when India spends 1.35% of GDP on healthcare and laps up discounted Russian oil is tone deff.
