He took the opportunity to highlight the BRS government's contributions in transforming Hyderabad into one of India's premier automotive hubs. 'Under the BRS regime, Hyderabad stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Pune and Chennai as a leading centre for the automotive industry,' he remarked.

He credited this transformation to the party's progressive industrial policies and visionary planning.

Extending his vision beyond research and development, KTR emphasized that Telangana must aim to become the number one destination for automobile manufacturing as well.

'Our government envisioned and worked towards creating a Mobility Valley to attract global investment and build a strong automotive ecosystem,' he said.

The BRS Working President also underlined how Telangana emerged as a magnet for global investments during the party's tenure in office. He recalled how global tech majors like Google, Amazon, and Facebook established their largest campuses in Hyderabad under the BRS government. 'In just nine years, Telangana made remarkable strides in IT jobs, exports, infrastructure, and innovation. That momentum must continue,' he said.

KTR called upon India's youth and industries to adapt to the rapidly changing global landscape. 'Our youth are proving their mettle across sectors, be it IT, life sciences, or automobiles. But to stay ahead, constant upskilling is essential,' he advised. He urged educational institutions, companies, and governments to invest in skilling and re-skilling programs that respond to future challenges.

Kranti Puppala, Director of PDSL, lauded KTR's global vision and leadership. He said, 'KTR's contributions are not confined to Telangana. His innovation-led policies have made the state a frontrunner across multiple sectors. For us, it's a great honour to have our Knowledge Centre inaugurated by a true global leader.'
