Good to see focus on sustainable tech investments. 👍 Often, rapid industrial growth comes at an environmental cost. Hope the 'sustainable technology' part is genuine and includes green energy for these data centres. UP's air quality needs all the help it can get.

MoUs are signed all the time. The real test is on-ground execution and whether the ease of doing business actually improves for small and medium enterprises. The Taj SATS kitchen is a good start, but let's see these projects completed on time.

As someone working in IT, this is exciting. Hyperscale data centres in UP could mean more tech companies setting up offices there, reducing the pressure on Bangalore and Hyderabad. Could be a game-changer for local graduates if skill development keeps pace.

Learning from Singapore's logistics and airport management is the best thing UP can do. Changi is world-class. If even 50% of that efficiency can be replicated at Jewar, it will be a huge success. The cold chain logistics focus is crucial for our agricultural exports.

While the vision is grand, I hope there is equal focus on basic infrastructure - uninterrupted power and water supply - which are critical for data centres and logistics hubs. Singapore's success is built on flawless basics. UP must get that right first.
