Tata Sons chairman to co-chair task force for reshaping Andhra Pradesh

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said here that Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran will co-chair the Task Force for Economic Development, for achieving a Swarna (golden) Andhra Pradesh by 2047.

The Tata Sons chairman, who called on the Chief Minister today, would be a part of the task force, which comprises intellectuals and industry leaders.

"The GoAP (government of Andhra Pradesh) is forming a Task Force for Economic Development of Swarna Andhra Pradesh,,,I'm delighted to announce that Chandrasekaran will co-chair this Task Force," said Naidu in a post on X.

Calling Chandrasekaran an old friend, the CM observed that the Tata Group has also agreed to team up with the state for the Centre for Global Leadership on Competitiveness to be established in Amaravati by the Confederation of Industry (CII).

 

Further, Naidu said he and Chandrasekaran explored opportunities for setting up a TCS development centre in Visakhapatnam, and also enhance the state's air connectivity through Air India and Vistara, among other partnerships and sectors.

IT and Electronics Minister Nara Lokesh and Industries Minister TG Bharat also met the top Tata executive.

We need to learn from Indian wisdom, appreciate it, says Chandrasekaran 

There is so much to learn from Indian philosophy and wisdom but one hardly follows that in normal lives, Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran said here at the launch of a book on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
 

The book, 'Power Within: The Leadership Legacy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi', authored by former Rhodes Professor at Cornell University, US, and currently a member-HR at the Capacity Building Commission, R Balasubramaniam, celebrates the Indian wisdom and leadership, Chandrasekaran said.
 

"It is a wonderful book. I think it is a very unique book for many reasons. It celebrates the Indian wisdom on leadership," he said at the book launch.
 

"When there is so much on Indian philosophy and wisdom, I don't think we go to any of them. Many times they talk about other philosophies, nothing wrong with that. But at the same time, there is so much here that we need to learn and appreciate it," he said.
 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is certainly one of the most respected, celebrated leaders globally of our times, he said.
