Good to see the focus on resilient supply chains. After the pandemic, it's crucial we don't rely too heavily on any single country. A diversified partnership with the US makes strategic sense.

Meetings with Ambani and Chandrasekaran show where the real priorities lie. While big business gains are important, I hope the benefits of this partnership trickle down to small entrepreneurs and the common man as well.

The Education City initiative sounds promising. If we can get top US universities to set up campuses here, it will be a game-changer for students who can't afford to study abroad.

All this is good, but we must ensure our strategic autonomy is not compromised. Partnerships are welcome, but India's foreign policy should always be in India's interest first. Jai Hind.

He enjoyed the Gateway of India, nice! But the real work is in those boardrooms. Hope the discussions on technology transfer are fruitful, especially in semiconductors and clean energy. Our pharma sector can also gain a lot.
