The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one of the largest states in the US, has opened its second office in India in Hyderabad. It opened its first office in the country in Bangalore in 2001. | |
| The Hyderabad office has been opened due to increasing interest in investment activities in Pennsylvania by Indian companies, according to a press release by Raj Devireddy, representative director of the state. |
