Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said India has emerged as a business-friendly destination and invited CEOs of top 20 US companies to invest in the country.
He added that the upcoming implementation of the GST, which he called a game changer, beginning next month will create more business opportunities.
During his meeting with the CEOs, PM Modi also said that India attracted the largest amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) as a result of the NDA government's policies in the last three years.
In the round-table interaction with the group, including Tim Cook of Apple, Satya Nadella from Microsoft, Sunder Pichai from Google, John Chambers from Cisco and Jeff Bezos of Amazon, he spoke about the reforms undertaken by the government since it came to power in 2014.
He said the world is now focused on India's economy, especially in areas like manufacturing, trade, commerce, and people-to-people contact, due to a young population and a rising middle-class.
