From IT to Quantum: CM Chandrababu Naidu Outlines Future Tech Vision!

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu stated that the vision implemented three decades ago in IT, technology, and power sector reforms is now yielding strong results. Speaking at the South Asia Learning Summit 2026 held at the Indian School of Business, he emphasized that the future lies in a knowledge-driven economy. He noted that early encouragement to IT helped attract global giants like Microsoft to Hyderabad and led to the establishment of institutions such as ISB and Genome Valley, positioning the Telugu states as leaders in the pharma sector.

He stressed the importance of green energy sectors like green hydrogen and green ammonia in ensuring sustainable power.
