'Obama Should Care About Creating Jobs In Bangalore'

Washington: Given the India-U.S. strategic relationship and strong business ties between the two countries, U.S. President Barack Obama should care about creating jobs in both Bangalore and Buffalo and not only the latter, former Nasscom chairman told an American federal body.

“In reality, the U.S. should care about creating jobs in Buffalo and Bangalore — truly a win-win approach,” former Nasscom chairman and former CEO of MphasiS Jerry Rao said in his testimony before the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC), which yesterday held a hearing on “Trade, Investment and Industrial Policies in India: Effects on the U.S. Economy.”

Testifying before the USITC, Rao referred to the remarks made by Obama a few years ago wherein he had referred to moving jobs from Bangalore to Buffalo.

“We believe that, back in 2009, President Obama’s speechwriters got it wrong when they wrote that business should be supported in Buffalo rather than Bangalore,” Rao said.
