Industrialist Anand Mahindra praises Telangana’s Vision 2047 plan and recalls an inspiring first meeting with Megastar Chiranjeevi at the Telangana Rising Global Summit in Hyderabad.

Mahindra Highlights Humility and Curiosity After Meeting Chiranjeevi at Telangana Rising Summit

Hyderabad’s Telangana Rising Global Summit saw a blend of policy, industry leadership and cinema star power on Saturday as business leader Anand Mahindra addressed a session on the state’s Vision 2047 roadmap alongside Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.

Mahindra, who praised the state government’s long-term development blueprint, said the discussions reflected Telangana’s growing ambition to position itself as a major global economic hub.

But the day brought an unexpected personal milestone for the Mahindra Group chairman: his first meeting with Megastar Chiranjeevi. Describing the moment as a surprise highlight of his visit, Mahindra wrote that despite the actor’s iconic status, it was Chiranjeevi’s humility and eagerness to learn that left the deepest impression.

“He is a legend, yet his warmth and genuine curiosity make him truly special,” Mahindra noted, adding that such qualities form the foundation of lasting success—whether in cinema, business or public life.

Mahindra’s remarks strike a chord at a time when public and private sector collaboration is increasingly seen as essential to India’s economic aspirations. His endorsement of the state’s vision, coupled with admiration for a cultural icon like Chiranjeevi, reinforces the summit’s message: leadership today demands both ambition and the ability to listen.

Events like these help align industry insights with political strategies, ensuring states such as Telangana stay competitive as they pursue decade-long development goals.
