TELANGANA: Hyderabad: The Next Global Magnet – Revanth Reddy
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy made a compelling case for Hyderabad as India’s premier investment hub during a high-profile gathering in Delhi.
Speaking at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum on November 13, he unveiled ambitious plans to propel the state toward economic giants.
His remarks drew praise from global leaders, underscoring a shared excitement for collaborative growth.
Pitching Hyderabad’s Unique Edge
Reddy emphasized Hyderabad’s central location, top-tier infrastructure, and stable security as ideal for businesses worldwide.
Over the past 35 years, successive governments have championed investor-friendly policies, he noted, fostering a legacy of support across party lines.
The city stands out as a prime spot for Global Capability Centers, blending skilled talent with rapid expansion.
With a young, educated workforce driving progress, Telangana offers unmatched opportunities for those eyeing the India growth story.
Vision for a Transformed Metropolis
In the last 23 months, the administration has rolled out sweeping welfare and development initiatives.
Key among them is the Bharat Future City project on 30,000 acres, set to become the nation’s most advanced urban center with global benchmarks.
Revival efforts along the Musi River promise to ignite a vibrant night economy, mirroring iconic riverfronts in London, Tokyo, Dubai, and Seoul.
Complementary infrastructure like a dry port, metro extensions, regional ring roads, and manufacturing zones between outer and regional rings will further streamline operations.
Breaking New Ground in Education and Naming
Reddy floated innovative ideas to attract top universities such as Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford for offshore campuses in Hyderabad.
This move could deliver affordable, high-quality education to students from neighboring nations, eased by straightforward visa processes.
Challenging tradition, he proposed naming major roads after corporate powerhouses like Google, Meta, TCS, and Infosys, rather than solely political figures.
Such gestures signal a deep commitment to honoring economic contributors.
Ambitious Economic Milestones
The state eyes a one trillion dollar economy by 2034, scaling to three trillion by 2047, with an open invitation to international partners.
Reddy launched the Telangana Rising 2047 Vision Document at the forum’s outset, laying out a roadmap for sustainable prosperity.
As part of the China-plus-one strategy, Telangana positions itself as a reliable alternative for diversified supply chains.
These goals blend empowerment for women, superior education, and youth skilling to build a resilient future.
Endorsements from Global Voices
Former Cisco CEO John Chambers lauded the vision as transparent, bold, and within reach, highlighting its potential social benefits.
He found the outlined projects particularly motivating for their innovative scope.
USISPF President Mukesh Aghi echoed this enthusiasm, confirming that forum members plan to join the Telangana Rising Global Summit in Hyderabad on December 8 and 9.
Their presence will allow deeper dives into the state’s strategic blueprint.
The event also featured insights from Google’s Chief Technologist Prabhakar Raghavan, alongside experts Sachit Ahuja, Jack Williams, Ann Marie, and Telangana’s Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan.
Discussions reinforced the strengthening ties between US tech innovators and Indian opportunities.
