Geneva: Seeking to create two or three Switzerlands within India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today courted Swiss business leaders to boost domestic manufacturing and skill development.
Prime Minister Modi held wide-ranging talks with prominent business leaders from Switzerland including officials of ABB, Lafarge, Novartis, Nestle, Rieter and Roche.
Addressing a business-roundtable in Geneva, he told the Swiss watch industry that the diamonds on their watches come from Gujarat and "so I am fully sensitive to your concerns."
India, he said, is not just a market of 1.25 billion. "We have skills and a government open to business."
He also talked about government's commitment towards easing business environment in the country.
