Two Karnataka ministers promise all help to investors at Pravasi Bharatiya Divas

BENGALURU: Diversity was the pitch to snag the attention of PIOs at the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas as two Karnataka ministers made a hardsell on Monday of the multiple things the state had to offer and affirm personal commitment to facilitate any investment that they want to make.

Large and medium industries minister RV Deshpande said the state had achieved outstanding sucess in all sectors including steel, IT, BT, nanotechnology, aerospace and space, garments, granite and iron ore, tourism and fashion, agro industry, horticulture, floriculture and silk, high quality general, technical, medical and educational ecosystem to the new world of startups.

“Karnataka’s strategy is based on introducing conducive new policies, revising and improving old ones, making massive investments in human capital, creating high quality social, physical and digital infrastructure,” he said.

Deshpande exhorted the NRIs to become Karnataka’s ambassadors. “Promote India, promote innovative Karnataka. And if you do decide to make new investments or expansions, do reach out to me directly,” he said.

The minister said the future of India was being made in Karnataka.
