ISB Hyderabad Has Made India Proud: Naidu

N Chandrababu Naidu, former CM of Andhra Pradesh and leader of the TDP, attended the valedictory function of the Indian School of Business (ISB) in Hyderabad.

Speaking about his vision for India, Naidu said that Indians will be wealth creators and employment providers globally by 2047.

It was Naidu's observation that the young brigade would play a significant role in bolstering the country's growth in the next 25 years by introducing new technology in making India digital. By setting up start-ups, he encouraged ISB students to become job providers rather than job seekers.

While addressing the gathering, Naidu recalled the issues he faced while establishing ISB legally when he was chief minister. He also made a PowerPoint presentation titled, 'Hyderabad the future knowledge hub of the world.'

"I have created a new city, Amaravati, in Andhra Pradesh on the lines of Madhapur, Gachibowli, and Cyberabad. I had tried bringing several companies to Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh. It will take time. I hope I will do it in the near future," he added.

While recalling the Microsoft campus set up in Hyderabad, Naidu said that Indians are inherently robust in mathematics and the British left English. He said that these two were strengthening pillars that made a deadly combination of Information Technology and that he conveyed the same to Bill Gates to convince him to set up a Microsoft campus in Hyderabad.

Over the past 25 years, Naidu elaborated on the development of infrastructure and the knowledge economy in Hyderabad in IT, biotechnology, Genome Valley, and pharma, adding that even at the recent G-20 preparatory meeting, he said technology must be encouraged.
