The Andhra Pradesh delegation led by CM Chandrababu Naidu and Minister Nara Lokesh has returned from the World Economic Forum meeting held in Davos. The four day global summit saw participation from several Indian states, including Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Assam, and Andhra Pradesh. Among them, Andhra Pradesh entered the event with high expectations, especially in attracting fresh investments.
During the visit, Chandrababu Naidu held multiple meetings with global business leaders, CEOs, and representatives of major multinational companies. The focus was clearly on positioning Andhra Pradesh as a strong destination for technology, infrastructure, and innovation driven investments.
One of the key takeaways from the Davos meetings was the interest shown by Tata group entities in investing in the proposed Sports City at Amaravati. Naidu also highlighted the growing potential of Visakhapatnam as an emerging IT and innovation hub, drawing positive responses from global players.
Minister Nara Lokesh, who actively engaged with several companies, played a crucial role in pushing sector specific discussions forward. These interactions translated into concrete expressions of interest, particularly in IT, digital services, and skill development.
AP government and RMZ Group announced a major investment. The collaboration involves a proposed investment of 10 billion dollars over the next five to six years, with a strong focus on developing large scale digital, industrial, and mixed use infrastructure across the state. The initiative is expected to create employment opportunities for nearly 1 lakh people and support the state’s long term vision of balanced regional growth, especially in Visakhapatnam and Rayalaseema.
Capgemini agreed to expand its presence in Visakhapatnam with plans for an integrated IT development center, global capability center, and BPM vertical. The company also announced a long term plan to build a large AI and cloud ready workforce in India, which could directly benefit Andhra Pradesh’s talent pool.
Another major boost came from Tata backed innovation initiatives that expressed interest in working with AP universities to develop digital talent, emerging technology labs, and advanced skills in areas like cybersecurity, cloud, and digital engineering.
Global investment firm Blackstone showed interest in developing Grade A office spaces and mixed use infrastructure projects in Visakhapatnam, strengthening the city’s commercial real estate prospects.
Tech Mahindra’s proposal to set up an IT campus in Vijayawada, expected to create thousands of jobs, along with expansion and skilling initiatives in Visakhapatnam, added further momentum to the state’s employment and technology goals.
Overall, while many of the outcomes are still at the commitment and planning stage, the Davos visit helped Andhra Pradesh re enter the global investment conversation. The real success will now depend on how quickly these discussions turn into ground level execution in the coming months.
