US and India are co-hosting #GES2017. On day one of the summit, it was an honor for Rural Up to hear from India Prime Minister Modi Narendra Modi. India is a global hub for entrepreneurship and innovation. Love his vision to launch Tinkering Labs in schools across India.

Day Two at #GES2017 has been breakout sessions with entrepreneurial leaders from around the world. I took part in discussions ranging from education technology to crowdfunding. Entrepreneurs are problem solvers energizing and revitalizing our economies across the globe.

People of India were gracious hosts. #GES2017 was finely executed. Thank you NITI Aayog. #mentoring was a big topic at the summit. Impressed with the overall inclusiveness of the global entrepreneurial community. Lots of collaboration, energy, and optimism for #entrepreneurship.
