Hyderabad: Telangana has emerged as the address of “Growth with Values” and stands as a role model for other states in promoting ethical and sustainable industrial development, said Minister for Information Technology and Industries Duddilla Sridhar Babu.
Speaking at the inaugural session of ‘JITO Connect 2025’ at HITEX–HICC on Friday, Sridhar Babu invited entrepreneurs to explore investment opportunities in Telangana, which he described as one of the most conducive states for industrial growth in India.
The three-day business and entrepreneurship conclave is being organised by the Jain International Trade Organisation (JITO), Hyderabad chapter, and was inaugurated by Union Ministers Rajnath Singh and G Kishan Reddy, along with the Telangana Industries Minister.
Highlighting the transformation in investment outlook, Sridhar Babu observed that industrialists today are increasingly guided by the ethical, inclusive, and sustainable dimensions of growth, rather than mere incentives or subsidies.
“Telangana is not waiting for the future- it is building the future,” he said, adding that the State has become a treasure trove of opportunities with a strong policy framework, robust infrastructure, and investor-friendly governance.
The Minister encouraged business leaders to visit Telangana before finalising investments elsewhere, assuring that the State’s innovation ecosystem and administrative efficiency would speak for themselves.
Sridhar Babu said that if the spirit of ‘Seva’ (service), a hallmark of the Jain community, is combined with Telangana’s innovation ecosystem, it can create a global model of ethical and value-driven growth.
“The real unicorn is not a company valued at a billion dollars, but one that touches the lives of a billion people,” the Minister remarked, urging young entrepreneurs to pursue socially meaningful innovation.
The event also saw participation from Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, BJP state president Ramchander Rao, and JITO Hyderabad chapter representatives Rohit Kothari, Lalit Chopra, Vishal Anchalia, BL Bhandari, and Sushil, among others.
