00:00I will now begin one of the key things that business today has put together.
00:05If the World Economic Forum is celebrating 50 years of existence,
00:10Honorable CM, the India Today group is also marking this year as its 50th anniversary.
00:17And it's a legacy that the entire country is proud of.
00:21As our chairman, Sri Arunpuri has spoken about in the past,
00:25it is for India. It's not just an India Today group thing.
00:30You here are back, and that is also a great thing to comment.
00:35And for Business Today, which is the business product of the India Today group,
00:39we are celebrating our 34th anniversary.
00:42So I will request Sri Naidogaru Ji, Pralat Joshi Ji,
00:46and the chairperson of the India Today group, Arunpuri Ji,
00:48to come up on stage and unveil the 34th anniversary edition of Business Today.
00:57A round of applause for this.
01:01What you see on the cover is Young India, Young Bharat.
01:08A special Andhra Pradesh focus section.
01:1240 pages on why Andhra is the speed state of India,
01:17not just the sunrise state.
01:18It gives me great honor and pleasure and privilege to have you here, sir.
01:43I begin with a stock question.
01:45How does it feel to be back at Davos?
01:47You built the India story here in Davos.
01:49What is different, not just the presence of the U.S. president,
01:53but what have you felt and picked up?
01:58From 1996, I am coming here.
02:00Even so many media persons and also politicians and also industry have seen,
02:13in the beginning, nobody used to recognize Indians.
02:18That was the story.
02:20Today, everybody is acknowledging,
02:24everybody is recognizing,
02:25and also everybody is saying,
02:28this is India's time.
02:31That is the biggest transformation
02:34we have achieved under
02:37our honorable prime minister,
02:38I am proud to be an Indian.
02:43I must ask you this.
02:45You are also the country's senior most chief minister.
02:48You became chief minister in 1995,
02:50just before you came to Davos for the first time.
02:54What brought you here?
02:56At that time, as you said,
02:57nobody even recognized India as they do today.
03:00What made you, in 1996,
03:03almost 30 years ago,
03:04believe that we need to be in Davos?
03:07What is it that brought you here?
03:10What was the dream that you had then?
03:12That was the beginning of Davos.
03:16They are 50 years.
03:18This is nearly 30 years back.
03:19Generally, I believed this is the place
03:24where I have to learn and network
03:27and also implement in India.
03:311991, economic reforms.
03:34Mid-90s, first more advantage of technology.
03:38Then I have to market.
03:40That is where I marketed,
03:42I attracted investment,
03:43I learned things,
03:44and I am very fortunate
03:47at that time
03:48under Wajipayaji leadership.
03:51You are aware.
03:53First, in a different government
03:55for a short time.
03:57After that, Wajipay,
04:00under his leadership,
04:01we have done so many reforms,
04:04even technology,
04:05even road infrastructure,
04:08airport infrastructure,
04:09so much of development
04:12we are able to do.
04:13The reason I asked you that
04:14is because in that period,
04:16you were initially called
04:18CEO of Andhra Pradesh,
04:19CEO of Hyderabad,
04:20CEO of Andhra Pradesh,
04:21and many thought,
04:22can a politician be a CEO?
04:24No, they have given award
04:25also Times of India.
04:27That was the problem.
04:28Yeah, you got...
04:29At that time.
04:30You got several awards,
04:32in fact,
04:32as the best business leader,
04:34but it was very odd
04:35because many Indian businessmen
04:36were...
04:37many Indian politicians
04:38would meet businessmen
04:39behind closed doors.
04:40You were one of the first politicians
04:42who was ready to reach out
04:43to business
04:44out in the open
04:45and proud to call yourself...
04:48If people called you CEO,
04:49you had no problem with that.
04:51Not only that,
04:52why we are differentiating
04:54with businessmen?
04:56Through business,
04:58they are able to do some work,
05:00nation building.
05:01Through politics,
05:02I am working for nation building
05:04or servicing the country.
05:05Why should we differentiate?
05:08Everybody is working for the nation.
05:10That is how I used to work
05:12from the beginning.
05:13Never I have any reservations.
05:16Openly, transferently,
05:17I used to deliver everything.
05:19You are also the founder of Sybarabad.
05:22And I don't think
05:23there was any city at that time
05:24which had a tech appendage
05:26named to it.
05:26Imagine Sybarabad being called that.
05:28But today,
05:29I want to focus on
05:31the business part of it.
05:32A year ago,
05:33you had companies
05:34and conversations
05:35with Cognizant,
05:37for example,
05:37and other companies.
05:38And we see that
05:40a lot of that
05:41is getting executed
05:42on the ground.
05:43Why I ask you this question,
05:45sir,
05:45is that a lot of MOUs
05:46do get signed.
05:47But we see years
05:49in them actually translating.
05:50What is it that
05:51you are doing differently
05:53to see such speed
05:54of execution on the ground?
05:57No.
05:58Earlier,
05:58I used to work
06:00ease of doing business.
06:0114,
06:0419,
06:05four years,
06:05we are number one.
06:06Only one year,
06:07we are number two.
06:09That year,
06:09Gujarat was number one.
06:13Fortunately,
06:14our honorable
06:14prime minister
06:15is not there.
06:16So,
06:17that is an advantage
06:18for me
06:18to compete.
06:20Today,
06:22I am moving
06:22speed of doing business.
06:25I have changed
06:26the gear.
06:27Because of speed
06:29of doing business,
06:29everything real-time,
06:31we are clearing.
06:33That is how
06:33we are attracting
06:34huge investment.
06:37It is India's time.
06:39We have lost
06:40some advantage
06:41in Andhra Pradesh.
06:43One is bifurcation.
06:45Because of bifurcation,
06:47either of us
06:48city has gone
06:48to Telangana.
06:50Never I
06:51claimed
06:53or bothered,
06:54but as a matter of fact,
06:55I am very happy.
06:56They are also
06:56Telugu community.
06:57one part of people
06:59is enjoying
07:00or they are getting
07:01benefit out of it.
07:051924,
07:06we had a bad time.
07:08Development,
07:09everything.
07:10Now,
07:10I have to recoup
07:11everything.
07:13I have to put it
07:13on fast track.
07:15Another ten years,
07:17Andhra Pradesh
07:18will be on track
07:19at four
07:20major streets.
07:22I am confident
07:23because you drove
07:26Hyderabad in a way
07:27by discovering
07:28or pushing ahead
07:30with the IT revolution
07:31in particular.
07:32The whole notion
07:33of Cyberabad
07:33that Siddharth spoke about.
07:35Andhra Pradesh,
07:35you seem to be doing
07:36very differently.
07:37You are doing it
07:38very differently.
07:39We had your son,
07:41Nara Lokesh,
07:42with us,
07:42and he spoke
07:42very interestingly
07:43about building
07:44a cluster model
07:45that you are creating
07:46Vishaka Patnam
07:47as an IT hub.
07:49You are creating
07:49logistic centers
07:51in other districts.
07:53You are,
07:53in a sense,
07:54trying to make
07:55Andhra Pradesh
07:55much more
07:56than what you did
07:58with Hyderabad.
07:59This is an even
07:59bigger challenge
08:00in a sense.
08:01It is like a startup,
08:02a green field
08:03that you have started
08:04in Andhra Pradesh.
08:05So,
08:05is that the vision
08:06that you have?
08:07That you want to create
08:07cluster models
08:08so that every district
08:10in a way
08:10in Andhra Pradesh
08:11has something
08:12that it can showcase
08:13to the world?
08:15Yeah,
08:15you are right.
08:16Inclusive growth
08:18for people
08:19and also area.
08:22Tirupati,
08:23that is one region
08:24I want to develop
08:25that is Raya Lsema.
08:28Amuravati,
08:29this is one region
08:29I want to develop
08:30that area.
08:32Vishakapatnam.
08:33And also,
08:34every area,
08:36every constituency,
08:38I am having
08:38MSME park.
08:41175 MSME parks.
08:43I wanted to promote
08:45one family,
08:46one entrepreneur.
08:47I wanted to go further.
08:50One family,
08:51one AI,
08:52or AI use case
08:53they have to prepare,
08:54or use AI.
08:56That is where
08:57we are working.
08:58To meet all these things,
09:00now we are going
09:01to start very soon.
09:02AI living lab.
09:05It is on the model
09:06of ISB in Hyderabad.
09:07So we want to create that.
09:11Now government
09:11is going to run
09:13on AI,
09:14artificial intelligence,
09:16very soon.
09:19I am telling you
09:19we are in inspiring time.
09:21We can do wonders.
09:23We started space city,
09:25drone city,
09:26electronic city,
09:28semiconductor,
09:29you name anything,
09:31everything we are
09:32starting in other place.
09:33CM sir,
09:34I don't know
09:35how many people
09:36here know
09:36the story
09:37of how ISB
09:38came to Hyderabad
09:39and didn't go to Mumbai.
09:41And that is also
09:42an example
09:42of the speed
09:43of doing business
09:44that you have set in store.
09:45I want to ask you
09:46a question
09:47about regulatory cholesterol.
09:49I remember
09:49as a student
09:50in Osmani University
09:51and afterwards,
09:52these were things
09:53that you would talk
09:54about that stage
09:54and you have implemented them.
09:56Is regulatory cholesterol
09:57still holding back
09:59India
09:59from achieving
10:00the true potential,
10:01like you said,
10:02one family,
10:03one entrepreneur,
10:03AI entrepreneur,
10:04is it still
10:05holding back India,
10:06sir?
10:08No,
10:09we promoted
10:10regulation,
10:11regulatory authorities,
10:12everything.
10:14First regulatory commission
10:15was set up
10:16in another place
10:17that to electricity.
10:19First reform,
10:20electricity reform,
10:21power sector reform.
10:232004,
10:24I lost power
10:25because of that.
10:26That is a different issue.
10:27But country
10:28gained out of it
10:29at that time.
10:32Our honorable minister
10:33is here,
10:35is now renewable minister,
10:37renewable energy,
10:39all these things.
10:40What I want to say,
10:42reform is a must.
10:45When there is
10:45a public-private partnership,
10:47so many entities
10:48are coming,
10:49regulator is a must.
10:51Regulator,
10:52regulation is not
10:53a problem.
10:55How to regulate
10:56a person
10:57who is heading,
11:00there may be
11:00sometimes problems.
11:02Ultimately,
11:03economy has to
11:05move forward,
11:06but proper
11:07selection of
11:08regulatory commissions
11:09are important.
11:10Then only things
11:11will happen.
11:12Can I follow that up
11:13with regard to
11:14some infrastructure
11:15development?
11:16And this is
11:17with respect
11:18to the state.
11:19In terms of
11:20the international
11:21connectivity
11:21that Andhra Pradesh
11:23has,
11:23particularly on
11:24the airline front,
11:25is there anything
11:25that you could
11:26tell our audience
11:27here as to
11:28what they can
11:29expect in the
11:29future?
11:30Because these
11:31are some of
11:31the pitfalls
11:32that you inherited
11:32because of
11:33the bifurcation
11:34of the state,
11:34sir.
11:35No,
11:36we are very
11:37happy.
11:38This is the
11:38right time.
11:39All audience
11:40are here.
11:42India is
11:43fortunate.
11:45We are all
11:46watching
11:46all over the
11:48world.
11:50Only India
11:51is having
11:51very strong
11:52leadership.
11:53I am claiming
11:54openly
11:55right time,
11:56right leader,
11:57right place,
11:59that is
11:59Narendra Modi
11:59as Prime
12:00Minister.
12:02Stable
12:02government,
12:03strong
12:04government,
12:05very impressive
12:06growth rate.
12:08And all
12:09states are
12:10competing with
12:12each other.
12:13Today you
12:14are seeing
12:14presence of
12:16Indians here.
12:18Very strong
12:19presence.
12:20Three central
12:20ministers,
12:22chief ministers.
12:24Ten states
12:25are representing
12:26here.
12:27No other
12:27countries are
12:28doing this.
12:30And also,
12:31all other
12:32countries,
12:33there are some
12:33problems I
12:34don't want to
12:35highlight here.
12:37But ultimately,
12:39it is India's
12:40time.
12:41How to
12:42develop as
12:42airports?
12:44I am going
12:45not only
12:45airports,
12:47logistics
12:47hub.
12:48We are
12:50having
12:501,000
12:50kilometers
12:51sea coast.
12:52I want
12:53to develop
12:5320 ports.
12:56And also
12:56in Andhra
12:57Pajas,
12:57I want to
12:57develop
12:5820 airports.
12:59Small
13:00and big
13:00hub and
13:01spook
13:01model.
13:02Roads,
13:03we are
13:03having
13:03excellent
13:04roads as
13:05are now,
13:05national
13:06highways.
13:06Now I am
13:07building
13:07state
13:07highways.
13:08If you
13:09can build
13:09railways
13:10also,
13:11railway
13:11cargo is
13:12the biggest
13:12and cost
13:13effective.
13:14If all
13:15these things
13:15you can
13:16do,
13:17logistics
13:17cost will
13:18be the
13:19lowest in
13:20the world.
13:20That will
13:21be a game
13:21changer.
13:22You
13:23mentioned
13:24the importance
13:27of state
13:28competition.
13:29You have
13:29got several
13:29chief
13:30ministers
13:30here.
13:32Siddharth
13:32spoke about
13:33the,
13:34didn't tell
13:34the full
13:35story of
13:35how ISB
13:36came from
13:37Mumbai,
13:37eventually
13:38landed up

13:46Mr.
13:46Joshi
13:46is there,
13:47which many
13:48thought would
13:49come to
13:49Bengaluru,
13:50has gone
13:50instead to
13:51Vishakhapatnam
13:53and you are
13:53building it
13:53as an IT
13:54hub with
13:55the biggest
13:55investment,
13:56single
13:56investment
13:57that Google
13:58has made
13:58in our
13:58part of
13:59the world.
14:00What is
14:00it?
14:00Do you
14:01believe in
14:01this
14:02competition?
14:02Is it
14:02possible to
14:03have healthy
14:03competition
14:04between
14:04states?
14:05What was
14:06the magic
14:06touch that
14:07you had
14:07that you
14:07told Google

14:12Never I
14:13said,
14:13don't go
14:14to

14:15place.
14:15That is
14:16my nature,
14:17not my
14:17miniature.
14:18But they
14:18had a
14:18choice.
14:19No.
14:20They chose
14:20you over
14:21them.
14:21That will
14:22happen.
14:24Earlier,
14:25Siddhartha

21:27when he

21:29some
21:29problem
21:29also.
21:30So it
21:30won't
21:31lead to
21:31job losses
21:32which is
21:32the big
21:32fear at
21:33the moment.
21:33No,
21:34no,
21:34what I
21:34am saying
21:34job losses
21:36we are
21:37seeing
21:37economic
21:39activity
21:40will
21:40enhance.
21:42More
21:42jobs will
21:43come.
21:44More
21:44alternate
21:45opportunities
21:46will come.
21:47Instead
21:47of working
21:4814 hours
21:49you can
21:50work 10
21:50hours,
21:51you can
21:51earn money
21:52in knowledge
21:52economy.
21:53Four hours
21:54you can
21:54spend some
21:55money on
21:55tourism
21:56which will
21:56create
21:57jobs.
21:58Tourism
21:59is the
21:59biggest
21:59industry
22:00in future.
22:01It is
22:02going to
22:02create
22:02lot of
22:03jobs,
22:04soft jobs.
22:06I want
22:06to leave
22:07you with
22:07another
22:08Chandra Babu
22:09Gadu story
22:10with his
22:11permission
22:11because it
22:12was off the
22:12record that
22:13he told me
22:13but I
22:13don't think
22:14he'd
22:14mind telling
22:14this audience.
22:16So 2024
22:16before the
22:17elections I
22:18was interviewing
22:18him.
22:19He said
22:20something
22:20fascinating in
22:21the interview
22:21which struck
22:22me.
22:22He said
22:22India doesn't
22:23need a caste
22:23census,
22:24it needs
22:24a skilled
22:24census which
22:26I thought
22:26was a
22:26remarkable
22:27idea to
22:28find out
22:28how skilled
22:29Indians are.
22:30We chatted
22:31and then
22:31he won't
22:34admit it but
22:35got nostalgic
22:35about Hyderabad.
22:37He was
22:37sitting in
22:37Hyderabad at
22:38the time and
22:39I said
22:39sir you must
22:40feel that a
22:41city that
22:41you've taken
22:42forward is
22:43no longer
22:43part of
22:44Andhra
22:44Pradesh.
22:44He said
22:44yes.
22:45We spoke
22:46about politics
22:46and then he
22:47said you
22:47know if I
22:48was not a
22:49politician I
22:50might have
22:51been Google
22:51CEO.
22:53And I
22:55might have
22:55done an
22:55even better
22:55job.
22:58And it
22:59is the
22:59confidence of
23:00a chief
23:00minister to
23:01actually say
23:02that with a
23:02straight face
23:03and genuinely
23:03mean that
23:04because I
23:05think somewhere

23:10a politician as
23:11well as someone
23:12who is committed
23:13to entrepreneurship
23:14and governance
23:15and I think
23:16that's the
23:16kind of 21st
23:18century leader
23:18that India
23:19needs.
23:20So India's
23:21time as you

23:29strong, very
23:31powerful I can
23:31say.

23:34team, not one
23:36individual.

23:38I am watching

23:40world.
23:41Even earlier
23:41I had a
23:42problem.

23:53crore population.

23:56coast road
23:57thousand
23:58kilometers
23:58street lane.
24:00Then I came
24:01back and I
24:02fought with
24:03the Wojpaizi.
24:04Then he told
24:05me where is

24:12That is how
24:13we agreed
24:14golden
24:15quadrilateral
24:16road.
24:17Nello to
24:18Chennai.

24:19Proof of
24:19concept.
24:21It is on
24:21record now.
