Industry leaders expect policy continuity and a sustained push towards technology investments in Karnataka, as DK Shivakumar prepares to replace Siddaramaiah as the chief minister.
Executives from the technology, semiconductor and digital economy ecosystem said Karnataka’s long-standing strengths in talent, research and innovation are institutional in nature and unlikely to change with a leadership transition. At the same time, they said stable leadership and faster decision-making would help the state compete more effectively with others such as Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra for investments in artificial intelligence, global capability centres (GCCs), datacentres and electronics manufacturing.
