"boAt Co-founder Aman Gupta shares his experience of keeping pace with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to France"
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to France was a memorable one, marked by the Bastille Day parade at 7 am and a series of high-profile meetings. During his stay, Aman Gupta, Co-Founder and CMO of boAt, had the privilege of spending a day alongside the Prime Minister.
Aman Gupta shared his experiences, admitting that his perception of hard work was significantly changed after the day spent in France with Modi. He was moved to thank Modi for redefining what leadership looks like and wished him a happy birthday.
Uday Kotak, CMD of Kotak Bank, also shared his experiences of working with Modi. He found every interaction to be filled with learning and inspiration, showcasing Modi's attention to detail, focus on execution, and commitment to inclusive development. Kotak values learning and finds every interaction with Modi to be an experience full of growth and motivation.
On his birthday, Modi turned 75, a milestone reached on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, Gujarat. Several business and world leaders shared their recollections in honour of Modi's birthday.
Modi's passion for the Vibrant Gujarat summit is notable, as their discussions often revolved around development and transforming India into a stronger, more dynamic nation. His curiosity and eagerness to learn were evident, as he was eager to learn best practices from foreign countries and adapt them for the betterment of Gujarat and India.
During his visit, Modi had nonstop business meetings with all business delegates from both countries from 12 pm to 5 pm. A special dinner at the Louvre was held, and fireworks at the Eiffel Tower lit up the night sky.
One of Modi's most notable observations was about braille trails on the roads in Japan, which he implemented in Kankariya, Ahmedat, after being impressed by its potential for independent and safe navigation for visually impaired individuals.
What stands out to Kotak about Modi is his ability to blend vision with execution and display curiosity with humility. Aman Gupta felt exhausted after experiencing a day alongside Modi in France, but the experience left an indelible mark on him. The day served as a small example of Modi's leadership and dedication, redefining what it means to lead and work hard.
