IT and Education Minister Nara Lokesh has concluded his Davos visit and begun his return journey to India after leading an intensive investment outreach at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Over four days, the Andhra Pradesh delegation focused on attracting global investments and showcasing the state’s growth potential.
Instead of celebrating his birthday, Lokesh continued meetings late into the final night of the summit. He held discussions with global industrialists and participated in multiple high-level forums. Through this effort, he reinforced Andhra Pradesh’s commitment to investor-friendly governance.
During the four-day visit, Lokesh took part in 45 official engagements. These included 25 one-on-one meetings with business leaders, two government-to-government discussions, four congress sessions, eight roundtable meetings, and five international media interactions. In every forum, he highlighted the state’s resources, incentives, and business-friendly policies.
Meanwhile, Lokesh’s efforts produced early results. RMZ Group expressed interest in investing USD 10 billion in Andhra Pradesh. Officials described this commitment as only the beginning. Companies that engaged with the state during earlier WEF meets have already grounded investments worth ₹2.5 lakh crore.
Moreover, strong investor interest this year suggests even higher inflows ahead. The government’s speed of doing business, single-window approvals, and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership continue to attract global attention. Lokesh successfully presented 25 new industrial policies approved after the coalition government took charge. He is expected to reach Hyderabad later today.
