The IT Minister pointed out that Telangana's IT exports have doubled the national average. "Hyderabad is a city that has no geographical hurdles and has the scope to develop in all the corners. Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, Telangana government is building infrastructure keeping in mind the lakhs of people who are coming to the city. The eastern side of the city already has companies such as Infosys and Genpact apart from other medium and small-scale enterprises.
