    TECH titans will court Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Silicon Valley this weekend, but away from the glitz, the euphoria of his first trip to the United States a year ago has faded as promised deals stall and key reforms flounder.

    A firm believer in the new economy and power of social media, Mr Modi will be welcomed by Apple, Facebook and Google, who want to grow in a market where the world's third-largest Internet user base is set to multiply in coming years.
