Hon’ble Chief Minister Sri A. Revanth Reddy formally inaugurated the prestigious Google Safety Engineering Center (GSEC) at Divyasree Building near Hitech City, Hyderabad. He was joined by State IT and Industries Minister Sri Duddilla Sridhar Babu for the inauguration ceremony.
Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said it was a moment of pride for Telangana that global tech giant Google chose Hyderabad as the location for its first GSEC in the Asia-Pacific region. “When the world asks where to invest, the answer is Telangana,” he declared.
“I believe GSEC will make us all proud. Telangana’s goals require the support of partners like Google. We are already collaborating with Google in several areas — education, safety, mapping, traffic, startups, and healthcare,” the Chief Minister noted.
“Our vision is to provide a high standard of living to women, youth, farmers, and every section of society — and we see Google as a key partner in this mission. Let us strive together for excellence. Your support is vital,” he appealed.
The Chief Minister stated that the government is advancing with the vision of #TelanganaRising, aiming to transform Telangana into a $1 trillion economy by 2035 and a $3 trillion economy by 2047.
“Since Google entered our lives, the world has changed. Lives, economies, and governments have gone digital. If our digital infrastructure is secure, development will accelerate. I take pride in the establishment of this Google Cybersecurity Hub which will enhance advanced cybersecurity capabilities.”
He added that this center would not only foster skill development but also generate employment and strengthen the nation’s cybersecurity framework. “Google’s philosophy of ‘Do no evil’ is something I deeply appreciate. Like Google, this government is committed to doing good.”
Highlighting Google’s longstanding relationship with Hyderabad, the Chief Minister said, “Google has been a friend of Hyderabad since 2007. Today, it employs nearly 7,000 professionals here. We have also launched Young India Skills University to train engineering graduates and enhance employability.”
Senior executives from Google, including Wilson L White, Vice President – Government Affairs & Public Policy, and Arijit Sarkar, Vice President – Google Ad Spaces, were present at the inauguration along with other company representatives.
