Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Joins Indian 76th Republic Day Celebration Event in Seattle, Says Thrilled To See Bonds Grow Between US and India

New Delhi, January 27: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Monday said that he is thrilled to see bonds grow between India and the US. Speaking at the 76th Republic Day celebration in Seattle, US, Nadella said the bond is strong because of shared democratic values by both countries. The event was organised by Indian Consulate in Seattle.

“Looking forward, I am, again, very thrilled to see the bonds between the two countries continue to grow, both because of the community here, but also because of the shared bonds of being two democracies that are grounded in their constitutions,” Nadella said. “I think what happens at the end of the day is people who get elected have to serve all the constituents and to us to have the privilege to build technology that allows these leaders to then pursue what then gets them elected is perhaps the best virtual cycle of a democracy,” he added. DeepSeek Proves Reality of AI and Highlights Need for Better Datasets and Algorithms Not Compute Capacity: Former IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
