Nov 26, 2023
New Delhi [India], November 26 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday reacted to the social media post of an Indian-American investor who was optimistic about the prospects of the investment environment in India and referred to it as a "startup country".
PM Modi appreciated his optimism and heaped confidence in the innovation abilities of the country.
He further welcomed the world to invest in the country and said that India won't disappoint.
Indian-American investor Balaji wrote a long post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) where he talked about investing in India due to the growth potential of the country. He further said that a strong and self-sufficient 'Bharat' is good for the world.
"INVESTING IN INDIA IS IMPROVING INDIA. If you see a startup growing, does that mean it doesn't have any flaws? That it's the best in the world? That you're going to use it for everything right away? No, of course not. But you might start using it, and putting money into it, and talking about it to your friends. And that's how I think about India -- an ancient civilization that's simultaneously like a startup country, as you can see from the graph below," Balaji posted on X.
He added, "That's why I'm investing in India and Indians: because I see the growth potential, because it helps build up Bharat, and because a strong and self-sufficient India is good for the world."
Reacting to this, PM Modi said, "I love your optimism and will add- the people of India are trendsetters and trailblazers when it comes to innovation. We welcome the world to invest in our nation. India won't disappoint".
Balaji pointed out multiple factors as the biggest strengths of India's growth prospects, namely; growth in civilisation due to the rise of tech startups, the mindset of underdogs who can achieve something big, decentralised diaspora, Special Economic Zones and being an international investor.
