Bhubaneswar: Industry friendly policies, quick clearances and grounding of projects have helped have made Odisha one of the most attractive investment destinations in India, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said on Friday.
Speaking at a function on ‘Brands of Odisha : Pride of India “ organised by the Sambad group of Newspapers to promote the brands of the state, Mr Patnaik said the state has received an investment of over Rs 1.25 lakh crore since February 2020 despite the wrath of coronavirus.
The Start-Up policy of Odisha is one of the best in the country, he said and wished that more and more people, especially the young people, from the state would come forward to take the opportunities in various sectors.
The younger generation is bubbling with ideas. They must take the plunge into business and industry, create global brands, and generate wealth for themselves and the Nation, the Chief Minister said.
Mr Patnaik said Branding & Promotion are essential components of Business & Industry. The ultimate aim is to bring prosperity, serve people and create a niche for a company, its product or service.
He said any branding programme that has a solution to address people’s needs will definitely succeed.
The Chief Minister said Oyo story of Ritesh Agarwal, a young man of Odisha, is a case in point. He actually found an easy solution for millions of tourists in the hospitality sector.
