The partnership between Telangana and Amgen began when CM Revanth Reddy visited the United States in August.

There, they observed the company’s dedication to scientific research, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical advancements. The Chief Minister highlighted that Amgen’s presence in Hyderabad would strengthen Telangana’s leadership in these fields and attract more global investors.
“Our government is committed to making Telangana a trillion-dollar economy and positioning Hyderabad among the world’s top cities as part of the ‘China Plus One’ strategy,” he said. He also assured Amgen of full government support in research, skill development, and academic partnerships, encouraging the company to expand its investments in Telangana.
