The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, just concluded a fairly eventful visit to the United States. At the annual United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, Modi spoke of his government’s focus on a wide range of issues, from economic growth and climate change, to poverty alleviation, energy security and sustainable development. In so doing, Modi became the first Indian Prime Minister to visit California in 33 years. This is an astounding statistic for a country whose economy and technology sectors are so integrated with Silicon Valley’s technology industries. For now, Modi appears to have sold Silicon Valley’s technology heavyweights on his government’s vision for India.
