Window of opportunity: Tech companies like Facebook and Google are likely to seize the rare opportunity for a sit-down with Modi to press him on issues currently hampering their growth in India.

SAN FRANCISCO: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's trip this weekend to Silicon Valley gives Facebook and Google the chance to press him on issues that have bedevilled them in that country, a market they see as vital to their aggressive global expansion. 

Among their concerns are unreliable electricity, slow Internet speeds and an education system that does not produce the engineers they need.
