Azim Premji Congratulates CM KCR On Achieving Telangana

Wipro boss Azim Premji met CM KCR and  congratulated him for achieving Telangana state and forming the first government. Premji recollected about Wipro and it’s association with Hyderabad in his meeting with the CM and elaborated on his company’s expansion plans in Telangana. 

The CM on his part, said that the Telangana government would bring out a transparent and corruption-free single-window system soon, to give all requisite permissions to new projects. Hyderabad would also be made an infotech hub and a 4G Wi-Fi city, the CM added.

The CM also said many more IT Parks would be developed in Telangana state so as to provide employment to large number of youth. Stating that he is looking forward for working together with Wipro, he expressed an idea to meet the Wipro chairman again after finalization of new industrial policy so that to explore opportunities for working together.

Ministers T Harish Rao, K T Rama Rao and CM’s principle secretary K Narsing Rao were also present in the meeting.

The Wipro chief also met AP CM Chandrababu Naidu and shared plans to hire 7,000 people over the next five years for Wipro’s SEZ facility at Visakhapatnam, besides expanding its operations to Vijayawada, Kakinada and Tirupati. The company will develop five lakh sq ft of space on the remaining 3.1-acre plot it got from the Government in the next five years. The AP Govt reportedly mentioned to Wipro that it would like to take back the land if Wipro doesn’t use it. The 3.1 acre chunk is part of the 7.1 acres Wipro was allotted by the then Congress government in 2004. It developed two lakh sq ft of space in 4 acres and provided jobs to 650 people, leaving the remaining land unutilised.  Wipro also reportedly sought 50 acres of land in Hindupur (Antantpur district) to set up a facility to manufacture soaps and fatty acids near the town with an investment of Rs. 500 crore.
