Prime Minister Narendra Modi met top American CEOs of global giants, including Apple, Microsoft and Google, here, with issues ranging from visas, investment and job creation expected to occupy centerstage during the discussions.

The CEOs round table was attended by Apple chief Tim Cook, Walmart head Doug McMillon, Caterpillar’s Jim Umpleby, Google head Sundar Pichai and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella.

Mr. Modi arrived in the US capital on his three-day visit during which he will also interact with members of the Indian diaspora at a relatively low-key community event in a Virginia suburb neighbouring Washington DC.

Reiterating his government 's commitment to economic reforms, the PM told the gathering that the "implementation of the landmark initiative of GST could be a subject of studies in US business schools."

"PM should request the President to resolve the huge backlog in green card processing for Indian high-skilled immigrants.
