Too much hype about tech was created in the 10 years of BRS rule but not much work was done, said Telangana IT & Industries Minister Sridhar Babu. Speaking to a TNIE team as part of Hyderabad Dialogues, he acknowledged that there was a big gap between Hyderabad and Bengaluru currently but said the state has to ultimately beat Karnataka in software exports. “AI is where we have to take a leap before some other state does so,” he added. Sridhar Babu noted that the state will soon come up with an MSME policy and a BFSI skill initiative that will benefit 10,000 students.
