Both Chandrababu Naidu and Chandrasekharan discussed industrial development and building Swarna Andhra Pradesh with Vision-2047.

The task force will be constituted with the Chief Minister as the Chairman, the TATA Group Chairman Chandrasekharan as the Co-Chairman along with famous industrialists and experts in the relevant sectors.
