Nadella, who is on a four-day visit to India, also met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday. The India-born CEO is scheduled to visit Hyderabad and Bengaluru this week.

Nadella, in his address earlier on Tuesday, had said digitisation initiatives in India and the work with digital public goods have been extraordinary, as he highlighted cloud and artificial intelligence among imperatives driving technology-based economic growth in India.

“When we think about Make in India, we are investing, it is the largest place where we have our own human capital, we have our data centres, all of these Artificial Intelligence capabilities that are being used in all application, are all in some sense Made in India,” PTI quoted Nadella as saying.
