“India says welcome home bhai,” the fourth user commented.

"Modiji, we request you to launch "sabko ek partner dilao yojana" under vikasit bharat," the fifth user joked.

Klor's post followed an earlier announcement celebrating his long-term visa. In that update, he contrasted India's welcoming approach to tech entrepreneurs with the United States' restrictive immigration policies.

“It's official! India is opening its doors to foreign blockchain & AI builders. I've just been granted a girthy 5-year India visa,” he wrote.

Sharing a picture of his visa, he added:“Trump says foreigners go kick rocks. Modi says Welcome home, bhai.”

According to the Indian embassy, the B-1 category is meant for business-related visits. It allows foreigners to set up or explore ventures in India, engage in business negotiations, or buy and sell industrial, commercial, or consumer goods.
