US companies looking forward to tie up for building smart cities
It is to be brought to notice that US companies have plenty to offer for India, USA’s minister counsellor for commercial affairs, John McCaslin, in a recent statement said that a core group of 30 US companies have expertise in IT-enabled services and data analytics, which are some of the major crucial elements for developing smart cities.
While participating in a session on ‘Doing business with USA’ organised by the CII in the city on Thursday, McCaslin said that USA would be happy to work with any state government that is keen on taking up the infrastructure projects.
For the time being, the USA consular chief-visas, Sutton Meagher said that getting visas to USA is easier than most people think, especially when it comes to B1/B2 visas required for the travel to USA. She also stated that visa applicants can get their visas in less than a week after the interviews has been finished, conducted by the concerned authorities.
This session is being looked at as one of the major probability for a joint venture that might be fruitful towards developing smart cities.
