He invited also the Tokyo-Kannada diaspora to participate in the GIM.

Lauding the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in making India globally competitive and also Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai’s policies for Karnataka’s progress, Nirani said the World Economic Forum Meet in Davos, Switzerland, proved fruitful for Karnataka as it has succeeded in drawing huge investments. ”Under the able leadership of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, agreements on investments worth Rs 1 lakh crore have been signed in the last 3-4 months,” he said this only shows the faith reposed by major companies in Karnataka.
