Silicon Valley honchos say it’s India’s turn to shine

Nikesh Arora, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Palo Alto Networks, thinks “it’s India’s moment”. John Chambers, former chairman and CEO of Cisco Systems, says India, the world’s fastest-growing major economy, offers global businesses “a trusted partnership” at a time when China is losing out. Shantanu Narayen, chairman and CEO of Adobe, asserts the country is a “very big part” of the software giant’s scheme of things.

As Indian policy-makers go all out to woo foreign businesses, some of the corporate honchos in the Silicon Valley have vouched for the country’s possible emergence as a major investment destination in the coming years.
