Indian-American billionaire businessman and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has said Dr Muhammad Yunus-led Bangladesh reaching its potential is in India's best interest.
The tech entrepreneur expressed his views in an opinion piece titled, "With Yunus at the Helm, Bangladesh Reaching its Potential is in India's Best Interest", published in The Wire on Sunday (27 October).
"As a proud American and son of India, I look with hope at the exciting possibilities surrounding professor Muhammad Yunus’s leadership of Bangladesh. Three days after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country on August 5, Yunus was sworn in as Bangladesh’s interim government head," the opening lines of the article said.
"Yunus, whom I consider a friend and have known for decades, accepted that post at the insistence of the student leaders who were at the forefront of the student-led struggle," he added.
Vinod Khosla continued: "I am an entrepreneurship zealot, a believer in the power of ideas, and passionate about sustainability and impact. I am in awe of what Yunus has accomplished in his life. I work to bring life-enhancing technology to the world through my investments. Yunus, through endless experimentation and tinkering, has developed a series of institutional success models for reducing poverty, improving health care and education outcomes, and combating climate change."
