India has long been renowned for its prowess in mathematics and its proficiency in the English language. These two strengths have formed a potent combination in the realm of Information Technology (IT). Recognizing this, N Chandrababu Naidu, the Chief Minister of combined Andhra Pradesh, embarked on a mission to convince Bill Gates, the visionary founder of Microsoft, to establish a development centre in Hyderabad. The journey to secure Microsoft's presence in the city was arduous, but N Chandrababu Naidu's persistence, belief, and unwavering vision ultimately bore fruit, marking a defining moment in Hyderabad's history and solidifying the strength of the Indian IT industry.
