HYDERABAD, JANUARY 21, 2026: Megastar Chiranjeevi has attended the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting along wth Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Ministers Duddilla Sridhar Babu and Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday.
The Chief Minister came to know that Megastar Chiranjeevi was holidaying in Zurich along with his family members, and extended a warm invitation to attend the summit. Accepting the invitation with respect, Chiranjeevi attended the forum alongside the Chief Minister and witnessed the unveiling and presentation of the “Telangana Rising 2047” Vision Document at the global platform. The moment stood as a proud representation of Telangana’s progressive vision and cultural prominence on an international stage.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy also received Megastar Chiranjeevi in a gracious and cordial manner. During their interaction, the Chief Minister shared that he had watched “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu” along with his entire family, including his grandchildren, and thoroughly enjoyed the film. He appreciated the film’s entertainment value and shared his admiration personally with the Megastar.
The Chief Minister proposed to host a follow-up meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) every July in Hyderabad. The proposal received unanimous support from global business leaders and policy makers, during the ‘Join The Rise’ event held in Davos.
Stating that one year is a very long time for follow-ups in modern business cycles and making investment decisions, the Chief Minister proposed to the WEF to organise another follow-up forum every year – in July or August – in Hyderabad. “I request to join me in making this happen – to bring a July WEF Forum to Hyderabad.”
He added that the recent Telangana Rising Global Summit was very successful, attracting investments worth over Rs 5.75 lakh crore. “Normally, we come to Davos to sign MoUs, but this year, after Global Business Summit success, we are now focusing on presenting our vision and policies.”
Referring to the massive success of Telangana Rising Global Summit — held at Bharat Future City — in December 2025, the CM said Telangana now decided to talk to the World Economic Forum about hosting the follow-up Forum in Hyderabad.
The event, which showcased the growth framework and the vision for 2047, saw the launch of Telangana AI Innovation Hub (TAIH) and Telangana Next-Gen Life Sciences Policy 2026-2030. The delegation, including Hon’ble Ministers D. Sridhar Babu and Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, explained about the state’s game-changer projects – roads, metro rail expansion, rejuvenation of river, lake and water bodies. They also mentioned about the plans for new economic zones, building a new city, and a new manufacturing zone to become a China +1 alternative option.
They explained that Telangana has unmatched investment potential and sought the support of global companies in technology, knowledge, experience and expertise.
The Chief Minister informed the high-profile attendees that Hyderabad had grown into a global hub for Global Capability Centres (GCCs). He added that Hyderabad is being developed as India’s first city to be operational 24 hours — with a focus on the night-time economy on both sides of the River Musi.
“We are building a new city – totally smart, designed for the future, and India’s answer to the best in the world. It is called Bharat Future City. In over 30,000 acres, with more than 50% area left open as Green cover.” Indian actor Chiranjeevi, who was also in attendance, stood as a special attraction during the dinner event.
