AP First...

The state of Andhra Pradesh has been progressing rapidly and many give credit to the Cheif Minister, Chandrababu Naidu for that... Sure he deserves all the credit, but there have been an army of brains working behind him to ensure that AP becomes a leading state in India... One of them is Randeep Sudan, special secretary to the chief minister. He runs AP First , (Agency for Promoting and Facilitating Investment in Remote Services and Technology)

AP First's mission is to make Andhra Pradesh the world's preferred Business Process Outsourcing / Information Technology Enabled Services (BPO/ITES) destination. This is one of the pets of the dynamic CM...

Now what if I said they recruit MBAs to help develop the state, you can get to work with the top brass and the CM himself, you can get to play a part in improving the infrastructure in the state, promote destinations in AP to MNCs looking to set up base in India and do some good to the people of AP... Well, one of our alums is doing exactly the same with AP first and they are so happy with him that they are here again, to recruit from ISB...

Personally, I have always wanted to do good to the people but politics always put me off... I was never one for IAS but an opportunity like this, to work under some like the CM, well, very interesting...

Randeep is here in campus today, presenting the pre placement talk for AP first... I am part of a few invited to have lunch with him. Im looking forward to this...

The deluge of ppts is so excruitiating on the available time now that I missed the Wipro PPT yesterday... its kinda tough keeping track given all the end term work, assignments, project and the final exam prep... Somebody spare me! :)

And here some responses to some comments:
