Prime Minister Narendra Modi has departed for San Jose, California, where he will visit Tesla Motors and meet top officials of IT companies, including Tim Cook (Apple Inc.), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Sundar Pichai (Google) and Shantanu Narayen (Adobe).
Prime Minister Modi today acknowledged Google chief executive Sundar Pichai's remarks that his company saw India as a key market and looked forward to the leader's visit to his campus in San Jose.
"Thanks @sundarpichai for your message," the prime minister tweeted on Saturday, ahead of the G4 Summit among India, Japan, Germany and Brazil. "I appreciate the role of @google in @_DigitalIndia and look forward to meeting you today," he said.
The Prime Minister earlier today made a strong pitch for reforms of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) before leaving for California.
