Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held a meeting with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, where they discussed various topics related to technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence (AI).
"Thank you, PM @narendramodi ji for your leadership. Excited to build on our commitment to making India AI-first and work together on our continued expansion in the country to ensure every Indian benefits from this AI platform shift,” Nadella posted on X, sharing a picture of his meeting with the prime minister.
In reply to Nadella's X post, PM Modi said, "It was indeed a delight to meet you, @satyanadella ! Glad to know about Microsoft's ambitious expansion and investment plans in India. It was also wonderful discussing various aspects of tech, innovation and AI in our meeting."
The meeting with Prime Minister Modi followed Satya Nadella's recent visit to Hyderabad, where he met Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
According to a post from the Telangana CM's office on X, Nadella expressed Microsoft's commitment to collaborate with the state government on various initiatives. He praised the Chief Minister's vision for advancing skills and infrastructure, noting that these two factors are key to positioning Hyderabad among the top 50 cities globally for fostering economic growth.
Microsoft is one of the first technology companies to establish a presence in Hyderabad and has expanded its workforce to 10,000 employees over the years. Additionally, the company has invested in a 600 MW data center capacity in the state.
Nadella had earlier met with Prime Minister Modi during his 2023 India visit and praised the Centre's 'Digital India' initiative. He had expressed his appreciation for the government's focus on sustainable and inclusive economic growth driven by digital transformation.
“Thank you Narendra Modi for an insightful meeting. It is inspiring to see the government's deep focus on sustainable and inclusive economic growth led by digital transformation and we're looking forward to helping realise the 'Digital India' vision and be a light for the world,” he had posted.
