Last month the White House invited Kings Chairman and Vivek Ranadivé to join President Barack Obama in India for the nation's Republic Day.
"I saw this opportunity to be a part of history," recalled Vivek in his blog for Fortune.com. "As a boy from Mumbai who came to Boston as a teenager with $50 in his pocket, I owe everything to America. To visit the country of my birth with President Obama was a privilege and an honor I simply could not refuse."

Ranadivé further described his visit to India, sharing anecdotes such as, "While the meetings with Prime Minster Modi, President Obama and the Indian delegation were special, I cherished the small dinner Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker organized with the president. She left no doubt that while there were always hurdles, we would grow and improve the U.S.-India relationship."
