Good to see the ambassador meeting with both the RBI Governor and Tata leadership. Partnerships in tech are the future, but we must ensure the benefits reach our MSMEs and startups, not just large corporations.

While cooperation is welcome, I hope our side drives a hard bargain. We should get access to cutting-edge tech, but also protect our domestic IT industry and ensure fair trade terms. Jai Hind!

As someone working in the tech sector here, this is exciting news. Collaboration on AI, quantum computing, and semiconductor tech could create so many opportunities. Hope the talks translate into concrete projects soon.

The ambassador seems to be starting on the right foot by meeting key figures. However, I respectfully hope the focus remains on mutual growth and not just one-way technology transfer. India has a lot to offer in innovation too.

Strong India-US ties are crucial for global stability. Tech cooperation, especially in critical areas like cybersecurity for our financial systems, is a win-win. Let's make it happen! 💪
