This was a major initiative towards public relations, marketing and education for American corporations to introduce India's commitment towards the liberalisation program and invite Foreign Direct Investments to the country. With certain sense of pride, I can state that the interest shown by American investors today is the result of the pioneering work done by a few good men like us from several  major institutions and which was well carried on in later years."  VJ decided to stay in the U.S., where he then developed businesses with the high net worth segment of Indians in America ("a natural selection since my banking days") for asset management, risk management, Trusts and Estates planning, retirement plans, and other activities.  During this period, he obtained all licenses required by the NASD/SEC to market securities and risk management products and services in the U.S.
