The meeting was convened under the aegis of the WMG Group and brought together CEOs, CFOs, directors, and senior executives from diverse sectors such as global capability centres, finance, automotive, banking, beverages, and pharmaceuticals.
Welcoming the delegation, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that for decades Uttar Pradesh had suffered from political instability and misplaced perceptions, which hindered its growth potential. He urged industry leaders to recognise the transformation of a “new Uttar Pradesh,” marked by improved law and order, policy stability, and a business-friendly environment.
“Capital is completely secure in today’s Uttar Pradesh, and development is guaranteed,” the chief minister assured investors, highlighting the government’s commitment to ease of doing business, infrastructure expansion, and investor protection.
Several investors shared positive experiences during the interaction. Entrepreneur Arun Dubey, a native of Kanpur Dehat, said he had returned to the state after nearly a decade. Recalling the disorder he witnessed in his childhood, Dubey described the present transformation as remarkable and expressed his intent to set up a large bio-refinery unit in Uttar Pradesh.
Other members of the delegation also conveyed their commitment to contributing to the state’s economic growth and outlined plans for new industrial investments. The meeting underscored Uttar Pradesh’s emergence as a key growth engine, driven by policy reforms, infrastructure development, and renewed investor confidence.
