AI is American Indians, taking India-US ties to new heights: PM Modi in New York
"Every aspiration is giving birth to new achievement, and every achievement becomes a facilitator for a new aspiration.
In a decade, India has climbed to the 5th spot from the 10th spot in terms of economy. Now, every Indian wants it to become the third largest economy," PM Modi said.
He also said India's neo-middle class is giving further boost to the country's developmental narrative.
"For me, AI means American Indians. This is the spirit that is taking the India-US relations to a new height." Members of the Indian community chanted 'Modi, Modi' as they welcomed PM Modi at the event. He began his address with "Bharat Mata ki Jai", and also said that the word "Namaste" is now multi-national. "Namaste has become global from local now," PM Modi said, as the Indian community cheered for him.
India's 5G market is today bigger even than America's, he said.
"You have connected India to America and America to India. Your skills, talent and committment know no bounds. Even though you have travelled overseas, but no sea is so deep that can distance you from India," he said in his address to the Indian community.

"For the world, AI means Artificial intelligence, but for me it is America-India.
"AI also means American-Indian spirit. This is the new 'AI' power of the world. The same AI spirit is taking India-US relations to new heights. I salute Indian diaspora, said PM Modi amid chants of 'Modi-Modi'
"There was also a time when I had chosen another path for myself but destiny brought me into politics. I had never thought I would become a chief minister. I was the longest-serving CM of Gujarat. Later, the people promoted me and made me the prime minister.
"You may remember a word PUSHP — P for Progressive Bharat, U for Unstoppable Bharat, S for Spiritual Bharat, H for Humanity fist Bharat and P for Prosperous Bharat - means PUSHP which will make India Viksit Bharat.
