Speaking at the Microchip Technology’s India’s world-class Semiconductor Design and Development Facility Centre opening ceremony, the IESA president said there was excellent leadership and excellent ecosystem was being created in Hyderabad. There was no reason for IESA to look anywhere else, when it comes to hosting flagship activities of AI and Machine Learning other than Hyderabad, he said.

IESA on its party has been holding the Artificial Summit out of Hyderabad. For the last two years it was conducted virtually due pandemic induced restrictions but this year, it is going to be a big physical event in September, he said.

Appreciates Hyderabad’s growth

The IESA president appreciated the government for the exponential growth in the city. “Every time, I visit Hyderabad, may be three or four times in a year, there is some transformation. It turns little bigger and little better” he said

The transformation was in terms of infrastructure or new global enterprises coming up or the new initiatives the State government was driving. Something or other was moving in the forward direction, the IESA president said.

“Without a bit of exaggeration, I have never seen an IT Minister like KT Rama Rao so focused on technology sector. Not in any other State. This focus is taking Telangana forward” Krishna Murthy said.
