Third-year in a row, Japanese executive gets b’day greetings from PM Modi



Nobuhiro Takahashi – a senior executive with a Japanese company and a JCCII Acting Member has been celebrating his birthday in a very special way for the last three years in India.

On May 8, 2020, on his 57th birthday, Takahashi scored a hat-trick when he received a very special birthday greeting e-card from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the third time consecutively since 2018.

The e-greeting card which carried the picture of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Mahabodhi Temple, Bihar besides the signatures of Narendra Modi, read, “Dear Nobuhiro, Wish you a very happy birthday, may this year bring more happiness and success in your life.”  

The birthday card received from the PM office in 2018 carried the photo of Ajanta Caves, Maharashtra, and of Mahabodhi Temple in 2019 also.  

The PMO sending greeting cards carrying pictures of Indian heritage sites probably knows his love for these Indian monuments of historical significance.  

Born in Aichi prefecture in Japan, Nobuhiro Takahashi came to India in 2008 and has been living here since then. The Managing Executive Officer (MEO) with Denso International India – an automotive parts manufacturer,  Takahashi had joined this organization immediately after his graduation.

“I am in Gurugram NCR fighting COVID-19 with our Indian community. This birthday card encourages me very much to carry on our fights against the pandemic as one of the non-immigrant citizens. It’s a great honour to have received birthday greetings from honourable Prime Minister of India for consecutively three years,” said the beaming Takahashi. Read more...
