The guest list for that dinner is seriously impressive! Sam Altman, FedEx CEO, and so many PMs. Shows how much India's global standing has grown. Telangana CM promoting the state's policies is smart diplomacy.

Productive discussions are good, but we need to see concrete outcomes. What specific trade barriers are being removed? When will the US ease visa norms for our skilled professionals? That's the real partnership we need.

IBM's involvement is key. With Arvind Krishna at the helm, there's a strong Indian connection. Hope these talks lead to more semiconductor and AI research collaborations between Indian institutes and US companies.

It's good to see such high-level engagement, but I hope the benefits trickle down to the common person. Better trade should mean more affordable goods and stable prices for essentials. Let's see if that happens.
