The Andhra Pradesh Government is committed to empowering the global Telugu diaspora and ensuring they grow stronger in education, employment, and entrepreneurship, said State Minister for MSMEs, Rural Poverty Alleviation, and NRI Empowerment Kondapalli Srinivas.

As part of his ongoing foreign tour, the Minister spent two days in Germany, where he visited the Indian Consulate in Frankfurt and held discussions with the Consul General and senior officials. During the interaction, he reviewed welfare initiatives for the Telugu community in Germany and inquired about their employment and professional opportunities. He assured that the Andhra Pradesh NRI Department (APNRT) will continue to extend full support to the welfare and progress of NRIs.

The Minister also reviewed prospects for German investments in Andhra Pradesh in collaboration with the Consulate team. 

He highlighted opportunities in the micro, small, and medium enterprises sector as well as other priority industries, inviting German companies to explore partnerships. Several CEOs of Telugu origin holding leadership roles in prominent German companies attended the meeting and offered valuable suggestions.

Reiterating the government’s commitment, Minister Srinivas said Andhra Pradesh is determined to provide all necessary support and incentives to industrialists for setting up ventures in the state. “Our government’s goal is not just to strengthen industries, but also to ensure that every Pravasi Andhra has the opportunity to thrive globally while remaining connected to their roots,” he stated.

Leaders from the Telugu community, including Telugu Velugu President Prabhanjan, Vice President Surya Velaga, Jwaji Group CEO Krishna Jwaji, and NRIs such as Sumanth Korrapati, Tittu Madhipatla, Naresh Koneru, Pavan Kurra, Shiva Bathala, and Vamsi Krishna Dasari, actively participated in the discussions.
