Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the United States culminated in transformational outcomes such as the pathbreaking jet engine deal, the transfer of sensitive critical technologies and the forging of next-generation defence partnership.
Atul Keshap, who serves as the President of the United States India Business Council (USIBC), has played a key role in the ongoing transformation of India-US relations. In this exclusive interview at the USIBC office in Washington, Mr Keshap stresses that the US supports India’s aspirations, including a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, and is committed to accelerate the rise of India.
Q: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US was transformational and pathbreaking in many ways. How do you capture the significance of this visit by Prime Minister Modi?
A: It is hugely significant. Frankly speaking, it is about the future of the world over the next 20 years or more because what the United States and India agreed on this visit will carry forward in terms of preserving the peace and prosperity and stability and happiness of both the United States and India, and the entire world. So, we are Quad partners, we are increasingly accelerating our strategic, economic, and technological convergence. We are rapidly expanding our technology partnership under the iCET umbrella. We are bui lding up even more of that on the INDUS-X (India-United States Defence Acceleration Ecosystem) that we have hosted. So, this is not about today, this is about the next 20 years and the future of the world and planetary happiness.

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES
Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS
The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
