The two greatest democracies in the world, according to US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti, agree that technology should be used for good—to unite and safeguard their populations.
“Magicians who will conjure up the solutions this world so badly needs” are the future that the US and India are investing in, he remarked, during the US-India Science and Technology Endowment Fund 2024 Awards Reception.
“India and the US have a vision of technology that can connect and protect their people and be used as a force for good. The endowment fund is bringing together innovators because, as I often say, the Indian dream is the flip side of the American dream, and vice versa, and we really like each other,” Garcetti said.
According to him, US-IIndian student cooperation, military sales, and joint drills are all reaching new heights.
“Last year, India became the number one source of students to institutions in the United States. We announced a new quad fellowship that the Government of India will fund so that American students can learn from the brilliance of Indian universities and really make this a two-way bridge as well,” he said.
“As we break these records, let’s not only focus on quantity but also on quality. Our industry landscape requires our institutions, nonprofits, companies, and governments to work together, working on all cylinders,” he added.
When considering the industrialist Ratan Tata’s legacy, Garcetti called him one of the titans of Asia’s ascent.
“His passing is a loss to India and the world. While he was a giant in terms of his career, anyone who knew him could tell you he had a giant heart. He showed us that business is about returns but also about ethical and moral values,” he said.
