The summit will also include sessions on sustainable development, India’s tech and EV revolution, and India’s gateway to Southeast Asia, among other topics.
In order to ensure the presence of industry leaders from across the globe in the GIS, the Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, and senior Ministers attended a number of investors’ meets over the last few weeks. In Mumbai, the Ministers interacted with over 200 top-notch industrialists earlier this week. Similar gatherings were held in Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy expressed the view that the interest being shown by the big shots in the industry like Birlas, Bangurs, Adanis and Bhajankas to invest in A.P. was an indication of their trust in the State. Inviting them to the two-day conference, he told them: “Visakhapatnam will be our capital in the days to come.”
