Interesting to see Maldives in the mix. Medical tourism and wildlife cooperation sound promising. MP has beautiful national parks like Kanha and Bandhavgarh, which could attract international tourists if developed properly with such partnerships.

As someone from the energy sector, ReNew's expansion in solar and pump storage is crucial for MP's growth. The state has good solar potential. This can create jobs and ensure stable power for industries and data centres. A win-win.

Pharma sector with Sandoz is a smart move. Indore is already a pharma hub. More global companies will boost manufacturing and create skilled employment for our youth. Hope the policies are truly favourable and not just on paper.

While the intent is good, I hope there is transparency in these deals. Often such high-profile meetings result in little on-ground change for the common person. The focus should be on sustainable projects that benefit local communities directly.

Linking AI with state databases to help farmers is a brilliant vision! If implemented well, it can provide real-time advice on crops, weather, and market prices. MP could become a model for tech-driven rural development. All the best to the team!
