India overtakes Japan to become the world’s fourth largest and a USD 4 trillion economy under the leadership of PM @narendramodi Ji. When Lakshmi and I were posted in Tokyo in 1976, the Japanese economy was a benchmark everyone thought would be hard for us to match, let alone surpass. Then began India’s Modi Decade in 2014. A decade that shook off the lethargy that had set in during years of policy paralysis and not just gave the economy a new sense of purpose, but also fresh momentum to every sector of the economy which was then at the 10th spot globally at approximately US$ 2 trillion in 2014. Initiatives such as @makeinindia @_DigitalIndia and @startupindia provided impetus to our transformational journey towards being #ViksitBharat. These inspired both private and public sector enterprises, and entrepreneurs to create and build on the momentum with the participation of every Indian. Today, as we remain the world’s faster growing major economy with a steady growth projected at 6.7% over next two fiscal years, India stands tall as 3rd largest startup hub globally with 1.57 lakh recognised startups including 100+ Unicorns, 3,600+ deep-tech startups driving innovation in Al, biotech, and semiconductors, and more than 200 Space Startups. The Startup ecosystem alone has created more than 17.2 lakh jobs and ushered innovations and new ideas. Even as we continue to grow, we have successfully moved more than 25 crore citizens out of multidimensional poverty, we are the world’s largest connected democracy with 80+crore internet users and have the world’s largest digital identity program with 136 crore Aadhar and have a huge 46% share in global digital payments with more than 60 million consumers visiting petrol pumps everyday and more than 33 crore LPG connections that cover almost the entire population. These, when combined with the fruits of schemes of social and financial inclusion based on the philosophy of Sarvodaya Through Antyodaya’ ensure that the benefits of development continue to reach our citizens. PM Modi Ji’s farsighted and decisive leadership has enabled Indians to believe in their abilities and contribute to India’s remarkable growth as we now become the world’s 4th largest economy, and continue towards being the 3rd largest very soon. @PMOIndia @NITIAayog @FinMinIndia @PetroleumMin @PIB_India @MIB_India @MEAIndia @indiandiplomats @investindia @MSDESkillIndia @transformIndia @mygovindia @UIDAI @IndianEmbTokyo

@DevanBaucom @nikitabier @Pump Haha and perhaps also “south asian” of me to take shoes off :p

@nikitabier At my company @pump.co the founder has us take our shoes off! Some wear slippers @spndn07 We’re in SF, so the risk of stepping in human shit outside is real.

Insane to think that our brains were so rotted in the 1990s that people wore shoes indoors and it was “asian” to take them off. And somehow the whole world finally realized that shoes off is superior, except for some disgusting European holdouts.

Everyone’s raving about chatgpt’s ghibli skills where’s mine is gpting flirting skills :p
