Fresh off the plane in Zurich for the WEF annual conclave, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu secured a landmark meeting with Singapore’s President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, officially inaugurating the state’s global investment crusade. Naidu called it a profoundly respectful engagement on social media.
The momentum continued with sessions alongside World Bank President Ajay Banga and Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, whom Naidu lauded for etching his name in history as Assam’s pioneering Davos delegate.
India’s Swiss envoy Mridul Kumar orchestrated a heartfelt airport reception, joined by Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu and a vibrant assembly of over 20 European countries’ Telugu NRIs and TDP enthusiasts.
On X, Naidu voiced pride in embodying AP’s aspirations at the ‘Spirit of Dialogue’-framed WEF, drawing 3,000 influencers from 130 nations—including seven Indian CMs—for four intensive days.
AP’s strategy deploys sophisticated slide decks to allure investors into green energy, ammonia/hydrogen tech, AI, quantum realms, biotech, alongside tourism, hotels, schools, and medical services.
Emphasized assets: Amaravati’s burgeoning Quantum Valley, elite courses skilling 100,000 quantum talents (50,000 enrolled), Kakinada’s green production hub, and a track record of Rs 2.36 lakh crore from last WEF.
Naidu’s cadre will illuminate favorable regulations and breakthroughs to corporate titans, forging partnerships that could redefine AP’s economic landscape with innovation-driven growth and widespread opportunities.
