PM Modi recalled that the last time an Indian Prime Minister attended the WEF 21 years ago, "India's GDP in 1997, when the last PM came to Davos, was a little over 400 billion dollars. It has grown six times since."
PM Modi is the first Indian Prime Minister to give the plenary speech at the WEF and the first to attend the Davos summit in 21 years, since HD Deve Gowda's visit in 1997.
