New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday referred to the popular social media expression FOMO (fear of missing out) during his Denmark visit, saying those not investing in India would certainly miss out.

Addressing the India-Denmark Business Forum, Modi said economic reforms brought by his government had created investment opportunities in various sectors like green technology, cold chains, shipping and ports.

"These days the term FOMO or 'fear of missing out' is gaining traction on social media. Looking at India's reforms and investment opportunities, I can say that those who don't invest in our nation will certainly miss out," a tweet from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) quoted him as saying.

Reacting to PM Modi's 'FOMO' remark, Danish PM Mette Frederiksen said, "I always thought FOMO was about Friday nights or parties but I realise that it's about India."

PM Modi said the government was also working on the PM-GatiShakti programme to create infrastructure facilities for the next generation. Modi also said there was great scope of investing in green technology.
