| PM Modi Set To Woo Tech Companies in Silicon Valley

| Prime Minister Narendra Modi has documented his push to bring US investments and jobs back to India on his Facebook and Twitter pages since landing in the United States this week, posting photos with the likes of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and group shots with Fortune 500 CEOs.
This weekend, his followers can expect a flurry of photos with tech leaders as he visits Silicon Valley and is due to meet with executives from Google Inc, Facebook Inc, Apple Inc and Tesla Motors.
Much of his agenda, aimed at deepening ties with the US tech sector, will also focus on connecting with Silicon Valley's Indian diaspora.
Mr Modi is likely to be received like a rock star in an area that is home to many of the world's biggest high-tech firms. He is the first Indian leader to visit the US West Coast in more than 30 years. His trip follows one by Chinese President Xi Jinping, who met with several tech leaders in Seattle earlier this week.
The PM has said he sees the digital economy as crucial to bringing more growth and tech jobs to India.
On Saturday, he was scheduled to attend a dinner with 350 business leaders to discuss the world economy and its impact on India.
Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai and Shantanu Narayen, the Indian-born CEOs of Microsoft Corp, Google and Adobe Systems Inc, respectively, were among those due to moderate a panel discussion before Mr Modi delivers a speech at the dinner.
