Barack Obama began the longest foreign trip of his presidency in India with one eye firmly on the voters who delivered a stinging rebuff in last week's US elections.
As he flew into Mumbai, India's financial hub, on the first leg of a 10-day Asian tour, he announced $10 billion in business deals which he said would generate 50,000 jobs in the US.
"The United States sees Asia, especially India, as the market of the future," Mr Obama told a meeting of key US and Indian business leaders who between them represented all the top tier of the country's companies. "There still exists a caricature of India as a land of call centres and back-offices that cost American jobs. But these old stereotypes, these old concerns, ignore today's realities."
Hailing the shared democratic values of the two countries, he said of last week's defeats for his party: "Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose elections, but that doesn't mean the end of democracy."
Aniruddha Lahiri, vice chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Mumbai, who was among those who met Mr Obama at the event, said afterwards: "There is a great deal of commitment to increase bilateral relations and to open trade and commerce to the benefit of both countries. Now we have to see how this translates in practice."
Mr Obama's first act on arrival in the city was to pay tribute to victims of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, in which Pakistan-based militants killed 166 people in a 60-hour rampage through the city, gunning down their victims at luxury hotels, a train station and a Jewish centre.
"We visit here to send a very clear message," Mr Obama said after meeting victims' families at the luxury sea-front Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, images of which in flames after battles between terrorists and commandos came to symbolise the massacre. "In our determination to give our people a future of security and prosperity, the United States and India stand united."
But he disappointed many Indians by making no reference to Pakistan, whose government they blame for sheltering militants preparing attacks on India.
"Knowing fully well that Pakistan and Pakistani machinery has been used for perpetrating terror in India, by not acknowledging it he has disappointed the country as a whole," said Rajiv Pratap Rudy, spokesman for the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party.
The White House announced that Mr Obama would support India's membership of four global non-proliferation organisations, a move to reassure the country - left out of these groups after its 1998 nuclear tests - that the US is recognising its global importance.
With armed police at every road intersection, southern Mumbai was turned into a fortress with police outnumbering onlookers and snipers watching from the tops of buildings along the route.
Police removed coconuts that might conceal bombs from the area around a museum celebrating the life of Indian independence hero Mahatma Gandhi, which Mr Obama also visited.
Mr Obama will move on to Indonesia, South Korea and Japan during his Asian tour, joining the Group of 20 heads of state meeting in Seoul next week.
