I would like to take this opportunity to thank the IT minister (KT Rama Rao) for helping us set the foundation three years ago and for his continued interest in Mphasiss growth," Rakesh said.

The Minister for IT and Industries K T Rama Rao, inaugurating the facility, said Telangana has always endeavoured to promote progress and development by encouraging investment in key sectors such as information technology.
