Modi then also spoke of his own political and governance model as predicated on policy and policy stability. "You have seen my performance of the past decade. That's why people have maybe given me a third chance. Our governance is driven by policy. And for any investor, policy stability is important...we offer policy stability and policy predictability. This gives investors and others who want to work in India an assurance."

Modi also touched on biotechnology and said that there was a fertile ecosystem in India for this where there was both a scientific pool and a diverse gene pool.
