Good to see focus on CSR for women empowerment and skill development. But I hope the expansion also prioritizes sustainable practices, especially the circular water use mentioned. Our water resources are precious.

Investment is welcome, but it's from a brewer. While it creates jobs, we must also strengthen education and health infrastructure with such revenues. The $3 trillion vision needs balanced growth.

Telangana is truly becoming an investment hub! Policy stability and infrastructure are key. Other states should take note. Hope the local youth get priority in the new employment opportunities.

As someone working in manufacturing, this is positive. Global companies expanding here signals confidence in India's market and workforce. The Davos platform is being used well by the state leadership.

The focus on women empowerment through CSR is commendable. However, I respectfully hope the government ensures that the promised benefits in education and skill development actually reach the grassroots and are not just on paper.
