India has been growing at a much faster rate of economic growth six to seven percent When I read the statistics, it said it will overtake Japan by the end of this year to become the world’s fourth largest economy and may be by 2027 India will be the third largest economy only behind US and China, Bhutoria said.

Bhutoria noted the government’s efforts to improve access to health and life insurance and promote cashless transactions. PM Modi has been very good at reaching out and connecting with the diaspora, whether it was in 2014, 2019 or recently in 2023, when President Biden hosted the state dinner, there were over 4500 Indian Americans on the South Lawn of the White House. They loved being there and the respect India received as global leader, said Bhutoria.
He also commended Modi’s outreach to the Indian diaspora, highlighting events like US President Joe Biden state dinner attended by thousands of Indian-Americans. He emphasised the emotional connection felt by the community towards India and lauded the government’s efforts in security and eliminating terrorist threats.
According to Ajay Jain Bhutoria, the emotional bond with India remains strong, particularly among first generation immigrants who appreciate the country’s progress and development under the leadership of Prime Minster Narendra Modi.
