Nara Chandrababu Naidu, born on April 20, 1950, in Naravaripalle, Andhra Pradesh, is a prominent Indian politician and the chief architect of modern Andhra Pradesh. As the longest-serving Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh (1995–2004) and later of the bifurcated state (2014–2019), he is best known for his vision to transform Hyderabad into an IT and economic hub. Under his leadership, the city saw the rise of HITEC City, attracting major tech giants like Microsoft and earning him the nickname "CEO of Andhra Pradesh."
Naidu is the leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and is widely recognized for promoting e-governance, economic reforms, and infrastructure development. After the bifurcation of the state in 2014, he focused on building Amaravati as the new capital and improving rural-urban connectivity. Though his tenure has seen both praise for modernization and criticism for certain policy decisions, Chandrababu Naidu remains one of the most influential and visionary political figures in South India.
