In 1997, The then Chief Minister N. Chandra Babu Naidu travelled to Southeast Asia to meet potential investors and to 'market the state' and was impressed with the larger technology related developments of Singapore and Malaysia – especially Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) near Kuala Lumpur.[2] Soon after coming back from his Southeast Asia tour, Naidu initiated a $350 million knowledge enclave in Hyderabad, leading to birth of HITEC City.[3]
