Today we pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Their courage, honor, and selflessness gave us the freedom we cherish today.
We honor their memory, their families, and all who continue to stand in the gap.
Thank you. 🇺🇸 #MemorialDay

Charting the roadmap for a future-ready Indian diplomacy

Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi addressed the 11th Heads of Missions Conference, themed “Reforming Indian Diplomacy for 2047”, in New Delhi today.

Presentations were made to PM on future-ready diplomacy, promotion of the 3Ts (Trade, Technology and Tourism) and the amplification of the Bharat story. PM also heard insights from Heads of Missions, and perspectives from senior and young diplomats on strengthening India’s global engagement.

Prime Minister also shared his thoughts and ideas and provided guidance on India’s diplomatic engagement in order to achieve VIKSIT BHARAT by 2047.

[Dept of Commerce, GoI @DoC_GoI]

Reforms are focused on expanding India’s exporter base through MSME integration, scaling up e-commerce exports and streamlining processes for faster, more efficient trade.

A KPI-based framework is enabling measurable outcomes, while closer collaboration between industry and Government is strengthening export readiness across sectors. These efforts are aimed at improving ease of doing business and unlocking new growth opportunities for Indian exporters.

Not with swords, but with code

Leading not with swords, but with code.
From boardrooms to global transformation Indian-born leaders like Satya Nadella, Sundar Pichai, Arvind Krishna, Shantanu Narayen, Indra Nooyi, Ajay Banga, and Nikesh Arora and many more are reshaping what leadership truly means.
Call them the “Laptop Gangsters” driving not just economic growth, but crafting a more intelligent and inclusive world. 🌍💻
