Lucknow: In a fresh push to attract investments from India’s technology and corporate services sector, the UP govt will hold a major investment roadshow in Bengaluru on Wednesday, with a special focus on Global Capability Centres, IT services and emerging business opportunities.Chief minister Yogi Adityanath is likely to lead the outreach programme, which is being coordinated by Invest UP and will bring together top industry leaders, developers and investors from across sectors.Senior officials, including Infrastructure and Industrial Development Commissioner Deepak Kumar and additional chief secretary (industries) Alok Kumar, are expected to participate in discussions and presentations highlighting UP’s investment ecosystem.The Bengaluru visit marks a departure from previous investor engagements as the exercise is being driven directly by Invest UP, the state’s investment promotion agency, signalling a more targeted and sector-specific approach to attracting investments.According to the programme schedule, the daylong engagement will begin with meetings with select industry leaders, followed by a series of round-table discussions at Hotel Leela Palace.One session will focus on urban infrastructure and opportunities for leading developers, while another will centre on IT, IT-enabled services and Global Capability Centres under the theme “The Next Tech Frontier: IT, ITES & GCCs.”A third round-table will showcase Uttar Pradesh’s growth trajectory and its rising foreign direct investment inflows.Officials said the interactions will provide an opportunity to present the state’s recently announced GCC policy and highlight the advantages being offered to multinational corporations looking to establish technology, innovation and back-office operations outside traditional business hubs.The programme will culminate in a large roadshow at a Bengaluru hotel, where investors and industry representatives will be briefed on business opportunities across sectors in Uttar Pradesh. The chief minister is expected to outline the state’s vision for industrial growth and invite companies to expand their presence in Uttar Pradesh.The outreach comes as Uttar Pradesh seeks to build on the investment momentum generated after the Global Investors Summit and position itself as a preferred destination for technology-led investments and GCC operations.
