"PM Modi's US visit will catalyze...": Ashish Jha

While talking with ANI, former White House Covid-19 response coordinator, Ashish Jha, said, " I do think we're at an inflexion point and I think the state visit of the Prime Minister will catalyze.

Obviously, for me, the interest is in health and biotechnology, but it's going to go well beyond that in technology in general and in the future economy of these two countries. So my expectation is 15 years from now we're going to look back and think, boy, that was a catalytic moment that took a strong partnership and made it even stronger and better."
