| Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said governance reform is his number one priority, during a meeting with a group of top American CEOs with a collective net worth of $4.5 trillion.
"Reform in governance is my No 1 priority. We are for simplified procedures, speedy decision making, transparency and accountability," PM Modi told over 40 CEOs of Fortune 500 companies over a dinner as he presented a page-long fact sheet of the steps taken by his government in the last one year.
Among the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies attending event were Lockheed Martin Chairman and CEO Marillyn Hewson, Ford President and CEO Mark Fields, IBM Chairman Ginni Rometty, Pepsi Co Chief Indra Nooyi, and Dow Chemical Chairman Andrew Liveris.
Some of the CEOs attending the dinner described it as "report card," adding that this reflected the great transparency of the Modi Government. "Please continue to do more what you are doing. May be slightly faster," External Affairs Minister spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.
Briefing reporters, Indian Ambassador to the US Arun K Singh said most of the CEOs said a a lot of progress has been made in the last one year, but it has been inaccurately assessed and reported.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister said the foreign direct investment (FDI) all over the world has fallen but in India it has increased by 40 per cent. "This reflects confidence in the Indian economy", he said.
During the meeting, Mr Swarup said: "By and large the mood was very upbeat. There is general consensus that the Prime Minister is effecting change in India. The only thing all the CEOs said is that please make that change faster,"
