Chandrababu Naidu

E-gov pioneer



His populace might not be as generous, but the world community at large,
especially those connected to the IT industry, has been quite appreciative of

the erstwhile chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu. The man who

was rather more fond of the CEO of Andhra Pradesh Inc epithet than being called

the CM of Andhra Pradesh. He virtually defined the paradigm of e-Governance from

a practicing politician's perspective. Any conversation on Indian IT must

include Naidu. Naidu was a visionary who set about bringing to his state all the

best that technology had on offer. He did all this at the risk of incurring

backlash from petty politicians. Now most people yearn to see Naidu in the

driving seat again, and Andhra Pradesh back on the global IT map.
