    Currently, he has 26.5 million followers on Twitter, 39.2 million on Facebook, and 5,91,000 on YouTube.

  • In 2014, Media Baron Rupert Murdoch met with PM Modi and took to social media to express his admiration; he described him as the "best leader with best policies since (India's) independence."

    Several other CEOs representing media houses and the entertainment industry in attendance were also impressed by Modi for his "energetic and dynamic leadership".

    Overall optimism towards India was largely attributed to him.

  • Last year, Dominic Barton, CEO of McKinsey observed that since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister, India was finally back on the priority list of CEOs.

    Over the last several years, investors and businessmen had given up on India for being too complicated and for having a very uncertain policy regime.

    Barton believed Modi to be "very determined" and "was going to get things done".

  • Optimism abound

  • Last week, KPMG disclosed observations from a survey of 125 CEOs concerning India's future prospects.

    A thumping 94% were very confident about the economy's growth over the next three years.

    Over 90% were optimistic about the business environment.

    A majority were of the view that India was the "leading region for new market growth over the remaining term of the Modi Government".

  • How?

  • Despite his popularity across the West, at home and amongst the business fraternity, Modi enjoys a lower profile amongst residents of Asian countries.

    His underwhelming popularity is attributed to lack of confidence of those polled with respect to Modi's foreign policy decisions.

    Of 5300 people polled in 10 countries, 39% percent had a positive opinion.

    Surprisingly, a significant number refused to voice any opinion.
