KTR said the members of the Indian diaspora have supported the Telangana movement and have always promoted Telangana wherever they are in the world. He thanked the Indian diaspora members for their continued support.
He said the Telangana delegation had fruitful meetings with heads of various companies during the official visit. “My job is to promote Telangana and bring investment and create jobs for the people of Telangana. We will establish deeper connections with the UK in the days to come,” he added.
“If you are thinking of setting up your company in Telangana, I urge you to think of setting up your offices in tier II towns and not just Hyderabad,” KTR said.
“Contribute back to your motherland by supporting us in the creation of wealth, and employment opportunities, and ensure we motivate others back home. Let’s ensure the growth story continues,” the IT Minister said.
The minister mentioned that the Telangana government had already inaugurated IT Towers in Khammam, Karimnagar, and would soon inaugurate IT Towers in Mahabubnagar and Nizamabad. He also added that there is a great IT sector presence in Warangal.
