00:01Today, people across the world and global industries are looking at Andhra Pradesh through a very different lens.
00:07There are two major reasons for this.
00:10First is the immense natural resources and the geographical advantages that our state possess.
00:16Second, and the primary reason, is the leadership and the vision of our beloved Chief Minister, Shri Narachandra Babanaidgaru.
00:23Andhra Pradesh has a long coastline, strategic ports, abundant natural resources, talented young population, agricultural strength and enormous opportunities across
00:34manufacturing, technologies, logistics, tourism and renewable energy.
00:39But resources alone do not create prosperity.
00:43Vision, policy, execution and leadership convert these resources into opportunities.
00:49Andhra Pradesh has a very distinct advantage than any other state.
00:54Under the leadership of our Chief Minister, the state is positioning itself as one of India's leading destinations for investment,
01:02manufacturing and innovation.
01:03IT man, the CEO man and you know he is the water man also today and many other names.
01:11And he has also coined because of the power that he had at that time to influence people and to
01:17bring changes in their lives.
01:18Another dictionary had added another word also which is entrepreneur.
01:22You would have heard about entrepreneur but he is the one behind these people becoming entrepreneurs.
01:27So the power that he has shown to all of us that one leadership, when it becomes effective, when with
01:34the right policy making, with the future in thought, when he comes forward, what kind of changes that we can
01:40see, he has already shown before.
01:42And today we are going to take that same strength and utilize it to Andhra Pradesh.
01:47And I want all of you to experience that first hand.
01:50And whatever comes here, these are not just merely individual industrial projects.
01:54They represent confidence in the state's future, its policy direction, its infrastructure and its ability to execute in the future.
02:03Andhra Pradesh is ready, India is ready and we are all ready to grow with you.
02:08Our message to every investor is simple, we want your businesses to grow, we want your products and services to
02:14reach every corner of India and every part of the world.
02:17But what we want to focus now is the quality on that product, quality of that service that you will
02:23provide.
02:24And Andhra Pradesh and India will act as catalysts in your growth story.
02:28Let us create these opportunities together.
02:30Let us create employment and betterment of lives of a lot of people who are involved.
02:35And let us create prosperity together.
02:37And sincerely thanks CII for once again choosing Vishakupatnam and having this grand event summit here.
02:43And together as a team, let us all march towards Swarna Andhra Pradesh and also Viksit Bharat 2047.
02:51Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.
