    Since @narendramodi took office, India has moved from #142 to #77 on the @WorldBank’s ease of doing business list, which serves as an example for the rest of the world. My colleagues from @USISPForum all agree that the progress made in just 4 years is astounding.

    I’m honored to be back in India to accept the Padma Bhushan Award. Being recognized alongside people who have contributed to this country in their own way, like doctors, athletes & entertainers, shows there is confidence in India’s future as an inclusive #StartupNation.

    It's a tremendous honor to receive the Padma Bhushan award. I’ve always believed in India & it’s been incredible seeing the transition the country has made from slow follower to fast innovator. I’m lucky to be part of this incredible success story.

    Great @nytimes piece on deepening U.S.-India tech ties. I’ve long said I’d bet on India twice. Now, we are seeing how @narendramodi’s investment into a Digital India has accelerated the country’s prospects as a global economic powerhouse.
    Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and President Biden said in May that they would begin talks about critical technology.

    I've said for years that companies should look to India as an alternative to China for manufacturing, and it's great to see leaders catching on. As trust dwindles and risks soar with China, India is the country & partner for long-term payoffs.

    I’m back in India this week for @VibrantGujarat, discussing the success programs like Make in India have seen over the past few years. I believe that the @PMOIndia @narendramodi has taken bold and necessary steps to make India the next #StartupNation of the world #vibrantgujarat

    The @USISPForum event last night @indiainnewyork was a huge success. Great to be on stage w/ award-winning author @DianeBrady & reconnect with Indian leaders, including my very good friend Chief Minister Naidu @ncbn, who is truly a champion of India.

    I'm saddened to share that my closest friend & Cisco business partner Rick Justice has passed away after a 17 year battle with cancer. He was one of the most caring leaders I ever met. As families, we shared many great times & some challenging times. I will miss him deeply.

    Why I became so bullish on India 3 years ago: potential for growth was exponential & @narendramodi's plan for digitization, startups, inclusion. It's coming true @MorganStanley finds India will continue as leading economy, 10% growth every yr for 10 yrs
