As someone working in sustainable tech, the mention of hydrogen energy and waste-to-electricity projects by companies like Kanadevia is the most exciting part. If executed well, this can be a game-changer for UP's urban infrastructure and clean energy goals.

Good to see such a detailed pitch covering logistics, agriculture, and youth power. My only hope is that the jobs created truly benefit the local youth of UP and the industrial parks don't lead to unchecked pollution. The balance is key.

Japanese companies are known for quality and discipline. Their investment in automotive (KYOWA leather) and construction (SHIMIZU) near Noida airport can create a high-tech manufacturing hub. This will boost the entire Delhi-NCR region's economy. Solid step!

The point about simplifying registration procedures for brands (like SUNTORY mentioned) is crucial. Often, our 'ease of doing business' gets stuck in red tape at the state level. If UP can genuinely streamline this, it will attract even more FDI. Promising news!

Interesting to see the focus on cosmetics and pharmaceuticals too. The Indian market is vast but has specific needs. If Japanese companies like KOSE are looking for local OEM partners, it could really uplift the local MSME sector in UP. A holistic approach.
