‘California keen on tie-ups with Indian companies’

Bangalore: The US State of California is keen on partnering with Indian companies in education, agriculture and technology sectors.

Addressing students and business leaders in a town hall meeting at Dayananda Sagar Institutions, Ami Bera, Congressman from the 7th District of California, urged States to deepen tie-ups to drive growth for all the stakeholders.

Bera, a doctor by profession and the only Indian American in the US House of Representatives, said that encouraging innovation and cross country collaboration is the need of the hour as a lot of ground-up innovation can come from emerging economies such as India at a time when the US-India economic relationship has recently entered choppy waters.
