Lokesh Says Andhra Pradesh’s 3S Formula Attracts Investments
Nara Lokesh explained how Andhra Pradesh tries to bring in new investments.
He called the plan the “3S” formula.
The three S’s stand for speed, service and stability.
Speed means helping businesses move quickly and making it easier to operate.
Service means staying in contact with investors and telling them how their projects are progressing.
Stability means keeping business policies steady even if the government changes.
Lokesh also said Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s reputation helps open doors for the state.
Lokesh said his own role is to follow up with investors and help complete investment deals.
Nara Lokesh said Andhra Pradesh uses speed, service and stability to attract investments.
Speed refers to faster clearances and ease of doing business, according to Lokesh.
Service includes personally updating investors and seeking their feedback on investment progress.
Stability means maintaining policy continuity even when governments change.
Lokesh also credited Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s brand and governance track record with helping secure investments.
