As Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his second United States trip in a year, a commentary in a leading daily said he remained “India’s best hope for an economic renaissance” while another suggested that he may be a “diplomatic failure with India’s neighbours”.

In addition, there would also be focus on digital economy and digital technology and there is tremendous interest in people and companies there in partnering with India, he said. According to The Hindu Business Line, Modi’s Silicon Valley tour on 26 and 27 September will also include meetings with Adobe Systems CEO Shantanu Narayen and Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai.

Understanding the geopolitical and economic gravity that this event brings for India and the world at large, news channels NewsX and India News have lined up expansive coverage for viewers throughout Modi’s visit.

For Facebook and Google, India is a crucial market. His greet on the winning of the Indian cricket team, loss of Former President APJ Abdul Kalam and on congratulating CM Arvind Kejriwal’s Delhi win are also among the top five most-shared tweets. It is the first visit of an Indian prime minister to the west coast for more than three decades.

Modi will also headline a roundtable on media and communications hosted by News Corp’s Rupert Murdoch and attend a dinner with Fortune 500 company CEOs.

Speaking after the roundtable at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where Modi is staying, Morparia said: “It was not a political discussion, it was about investing in India”. “Similarly, for India, I see Ireland as a vital gateway to Europe and a bridge across the Atlantic”.

The Government, which is apparently concerned with the agitation against the Prime Minister on a foreign soil, cited the two appeals made from two diffrent batches of the Patel community in US against the protest to drive home the the message that all Patels are not favouring this protest.

“Visiting Silicon Valley a number of times, I got a clear sense that the role and participation of Indian origin tech entrepreneurs in that area is extremely significant in terms of main stream cutting edge technology and the efforts going on there”, Singh said in response to a question.

On Monday, Modi will have a bilateral with French President Francois Hollande, followed by a meeting with the Emir of Qatar, and then World Bank president Jim Yong Kim.

On Friday, he will address global heads of state at the Sustainable Development Summit hosted by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon when the new and ambitious post-2015 development agenda will be adopted.
