Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy embarked on a significant journey to Switzerland on Monday. He departed from Shamshabad International Airport in Hyderabad, setting his sights on the prestigious World Economic Forum meetings in Davos.
Global Stage for Telangana's Ambitions
This trip marks a bold move to position Telangana prominently on the world investment map. The chief minister leads a high-powered delegation, signaling the state's aggressive new strategy to draw top-tier global capital.
Accompanying CM Revanth are key ministers D Sridhar Babu and Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy. Their departure followed an earlier inauguration of the renovated Sammakka-Saralamma shrine at Medaram, blending cultural commitments with economic diplomacy.
High-Profile Meetings on the Agenda
The Telangana Rising team plans an intense schedule of discussions with corporate giants. They will sit down with leadership from Google, L'Oreal, and numerous other multinational corporations.
A senior official outlined the ambitious plan. "At the Telangana Pavilion in Davos, the CM will hold separate meetings with the heads of leading companies such as Google, Salesforce, Unilever, Honeywell, L'Oreal, Novartis, Tata Group, DP World, Infosys, and Cisco," the official stated.
The delegation also includes senior officials from critical departments like IT and industries. Their goal is clear: to engage CEOs, investors, and sector representatives in meaningful dialogue about Telangana's potential.
Pitching 'Brand Telangana' to the World
CM Revanth intends to use the WEF platform as a megaphone for Telangana's story. He will invite fresh investments and promote industrial expansion across the state.
Officials received specific instructions to showcase two key documents:
- The Telangana Rising 2047 vision document

This presentation aims to establish Telangana as a premier destination for emerging technologies and sustainable growth.
Major Policy Announcements and Frameworks
As part of the WEF engagements, Revanth will unveil significant new policies. These include the Telangana Life Sciences Policy 2026-2030 and the establishment of a dedicated Telangana AI Hub.
A special event will feature the formal presentation of the Telangana Rising 2047 vision. This long-term roadmap outlines the state's aspirations for the next quarter-century.
Three-Zone Economic Strategy
The delegation plans to present a comprehensive economic framework dividing the state into three distinct zones:
- Core Urban Region Economy (CURE)

Each zone offers unique investment opportunities. The team will highlight flagship projects across these regions, including:

An exclusive program will present detailed metrics, including:
