Andhra IT Minister Nara Lokesh scouts for talent to facilitate investments to state

Amaravatu: At a time when Andhra Pradesh is vigourously wooing investments to develop the state, its IT, Electronics and Human Resource Development Minister Nara Lokesh on Wednesday called for passionate individuals to join the state’s Economic Development Board to facilitate these deals.

The IT Minister is calling for two associate vice presidents, five general managers and half a dozen managers to facilitate investments in multiple sectors.

“We invite the best talent to join us at the Andhra Pradesh Economic Development Board (APEDB) in this journey to develop AP (Andhra Pradesh) as India’s premier investor-friendly destination,” Lokesh said in a post on social media platform X.

The 13 executives will handle investment promotion, export promotion, and project facilitation in key sectors including electric vehicles, life sciences, and green hydrogen.

Lokesh mentioned that Andhra Pradesh is on the verge of significant developments, with global companies showing interest in establishing large-scale operations in the state.

He highlighted the state’s robust infrastructure and skilled workforce as key attractions for potential investors. “If you’re self-driven and passionate about transforming the economic landscape of Andhra Pradesh, we want you,” he added.

Lokesh also reminisced about how his father, former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, had similarly turned Hyderabad into a global IT hub 30 years ago by inspiring a team of visionaries.
