Felt honoured to be invited as a Chief Guest to the TYE Summer Grand Finale 2018. Was pleasantly surprised to listen to the young entrepreneurs presenting and defending their ideas. The start-up scene is coming of age around the world but what Hyderabad is doing is something else. If this continues I can see it becoming one of the genius cities like Athens, Florence, Bay Area in times to come.

With such programs we must encourage the next generation with the skills necessary to face the challenges and create simpler solutions rather than worrying about problems.
