Visakhapatnam: Emerging IT and AI Hub of India

Andhra Pradesh, under the leadership of CM N Chandrababu Naidu, is positioning Visakhapatnam as India's IT, Global Capability Centre, and AI capital. With excellent social infrastructure, upcoming international airport, and ongoing port developments, the city aims to attract major IT and GCC players.

Andhra Pradesh is making significant strides to establish Visakhapatnam as a leading IT and Global Capability Centre hub in India, according to C M Saikanth Varma, CEO of the AP Economic Development Board.

At a recent Investment Promotion Roadshow, Varma highlighted Visakhapatnam's potential due to its social infrastructure, connectivity, and upcoming international airport. Google's $15 billion AI data city in Vizag exemplifies the area's growing importance.

With plans for new ports and a metro, the state aims to market itself as India's eastern gateway, attracting IT and GCC investments while constructing specialized clusters to foster growth.
