**New York, USA:** Prime Minister Narendra Modi has highlighted India’s burgeoning role as a global innovation hub during a roundtable discussion with leading American tech CEOs in New York. The event, organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) School of Engineering, saw Modi engaging with top executives from companies including Google, Adobe, IBM, AMD, and Moderna.

The Prime Minister emphasized India’s strides in cutting-edge fields such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and biotechnology. He encouraged U.S. companies to capitalize on the opportunities presented by India’s rapidly expanding digital and technology sectors.

“Had a fruitful roundtable with tech CEOs in New York, discussing aspects relating to technology, innovation, and more,” Modi shared on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Also highlighted the strides made by India in this field. I am glad to see immense optimism towards India.”

In his address to a large gathering of the Indian diaspora in New York, Modi coined the term “American-Indian spirit” as the new global AI force. “For the world, AI stands for artificial intelligence, but for me, AI also represents the American-Indian spirit. This is the new ‘AI’ power of the world,” he stated.

Modi also expressed gratitude to U.S. President Joe Biden for the warm reception during his visit to Delaware. “Wherever I travel, global leaders always praise the Indian diaspora. Yesterday, President Biden welcomed me to his home in Delaware. His warmth was truly touching,” he remarked.

Modi’s New York visit also includes a speech at the United Nations General Assembly’s “Summit of the Future” before his return to India.
