While it was Donald Trump Jr who was quite vocal about India’s startup ecosystem, having said, “There is an entrepreneurial spirit in India that is different than elsewhere in the world,” The Uber CEO Dara Khosrowarshi chose an uberly high ride, “PM Narendra Modi is my favourite entrepreneur.”
Terming Modi, as a political entrepreneur, Dara commented at the Global Business Summit, “It is very difficult to be an entrepreneur, but it is more difficult to be an entrepreneur at scale.”
Dara further said, “What the PM Modi is doing in terms of pushing the country forward with a global view, pushing progressive reforms forward, and keeping India open and you can see the optimism in the way the economy is going, it is remarkable; to be an entrepreneur at scale is a skill that hopefully I can find as I take over Uber and look to scale and take it forward.”
