“Growth of Indian economy…” Bill Gates reveals his conversations with Warren Buffet on India

Mar 01, 2024

New Delhi, Mar 01 (ANI): Speaking on his relationship with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, Microsoft Co-founder Bill Gates on February 29 revealed that the two billionaires often talked about the growing Indian economy and termed the growth of Indian economy as “positive”. In an exclusive interview with ANI Editor Smita Prakash, he said, “I’ve been friends with Warren for a long time, over 30 years, and we really never had much overlap in our businesses. We had a very similar view of the world, we love talking to each other. I talk to Warren many times a month about all the different things going on, and he did decide at one point, although it was a complete surprise to me, to funnel some of his generosity through the Gates Foundation. So that’s allowed us to be even more ambitious. But our friendship is basically independent of that. Warren hasn’t been to India a lot, so he wouldn’t claim any deep knowledge. But as we talk about good things going on in the world, the growth of the Indian economy is definitely a real positive.”
