CM Yogi Adityanath to pitch Uttar Pradesh as "GCC Powerhouse" in Bengaluru Investor Roadshow
Lucknow, June 23
An Investor Roadshow under the Uttar Pradesh Global Growth Dialogue 2026 will be held in Bengaluru on Wednesday, aimed at showcasing the state's investment potential and attracting leading industrialists.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will chair the event, which is being organised as part of the state government's outreach to position Uttar Pradesh as a preferred investment destination.
The roadshow will feature three thematic sessions focused on infrastructure, IT and IT-enabled services, Global Capability Centres, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Prominent entrepreneurs and industry leaders are expected to share their views during the discussions.
A short film highlighting Uttar Pradesh's industrial ecosystem, policy reforms, and emerging opportunities will also be screened during the event.
The initiative aims to present Uttar Pradesh's development roadmap, investor-friendly policies, improved law and order situation, expressway network, Defence Corridor, Data Centre Park, EV ecosystem, and manufacturing capabilities to investors in Bengaluru, widely regarded as India's technology hub.
Over the past nine years, Uttar Pradesh has strengthened its position as a preferred investment destination, supported by its single-window clearance system, land bank availability, skilled workforce, and incentive-driven industrial policies.
Earlier, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath laid the foundation stone for various development projects in Hamirpur. The Chief Minister said the world was now recognising India's ancient traditions and values.
"The world is now acknowledging India's traditions. For Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the entire nation of 1.4 billion people is his family, and for me, the 25 crore people of Uttar Pradesh are my family," Adityanath said.

Yogi ji's governance model is actually working. The expressways, defence corridor, and data centres are real game-changers. When CM says "25 crore people are my family," it's not just words—you can see the development push in every district now. Bengaluru investors should take note: UP is no longer the backward state it used to be. Proud moment! 🇮🇳
I am all for development but let's not ignore ground realities. I live in Lucknow and while roads have improved, power supply still fluctuates in many areas. Also, the "single-window clearance" sounds good on paper but in reality, small entrepreneurs still face harassment from lower-level officials. Hope this roadshow addresses those issues too. Good initiative though.
As someone who works in tech in Bangalore, I often thought about moving back to UP but the job ecosystem just isn't there yet. If this GCC push actually materializes and companies set up Global Capability Centres in Noida or even smaller cities like Kanpur, it could be a real pull factor for skilled workers like me. Let's see if they walk the talk! 😊
Yogi ji ka development model is clearly working. From law and order to now attracting FDI—UP is on fire! The way he transformed the state's image is commendable. Bengaluru roadshow is a masterstroke. Investors will see the potential. Mark my words, UP will be the next investment hotspot. #UttarPradesh #NewUP
