#ExploreAndhraPradesh Penukonda: Rocky Hills Meeting Royal History Set amid dramatic rocky hills 70 km from Anantapur district, Penukonda once served as the second capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. The rugged Penukonda Fort, Gagan Mahal, Basavanna Temple, Babayya Dargah and the tomb of Vemappa together reflect centuries of heritage shaped by history and faith. The winding hill road with sweeping hairpin bends makes Penukonda a favourite for weekend riders from nearby places, while trekking trails behind the hill temples open up to panoramic views of rocky terrain, shrub forests and serene lakes. Trade the usual for a ride through history and hills this weekend at Penukonda. @Tourism_AP @tourismgoi #Penukonda #ExploreAndhraPradesh #WeekendGetaway #ChooseSpeedChooseAP #InvestInAP #APEDB

It was a privilege to welcome Aiman Ezzat, Global CEO of Capgemini, to Visakhapatnam and take forward the discussions we began at World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026.

I’m looking forward to exciting collaboration opportunities to be announced soon! @Capgemini #ChooseSpeedChooseAP

A candid analysis in @the_hindu highlights the structural shift underway in the AP economy that was pushed into stress by the previous regime - rising debt, structural deficits and shrinking fiscal space. Over the past year, our government has begun the hard work of repair: moderating deficits, strengthening revenue mobilisation, and decisively shifting towards capital expenditure that builds infrastructure, jobs and long-term growth. The transition from fiscal stress to sustainable growth has begun. Andhra Pradesh is firmly back on the path of responsible governance and productive investment. thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/…

We often think of government in terms of departments and silos. With ‘#ManaMitra’, our revolutionary WhatsApp-based citizen services platform, we flipped that idea around. We placed the citizen at the center of governance, re-engineering systems and processes to make public services simple and accessible. I’m happy that Mana Mitra now offers 900+ services to the people of #AndhraPradesh. I spoke about this journey and our roadmap ahead at the WhatsApp Citizen Engagement & Innovation Forum in New Delhi. My thanks to the organizers and to Sandhya Devanathan and the team at @meta Platforms for hosting the conversation. #WhatsAPPGovernanceInAP
