As someone from Bhubaneswar, I'm excited but also concerned about infrastructure. Our roads and public transport need improvement before more big companies come in.

HCL in Bhubaneswar would be amazing! Currently have to move to Bangalore or Hyderabad for good tech jobs. This could bring talent back to Odisha 💻

While this is positive, I hope the government ensures local hiring and doesn't just bring in talent from outside. Odisha's youth deserve first preference in these jobs.

Rs 12.89 lakh crores investment is HUGE! If even half materializes, Odisha could become an economic powerhouse in eastern India. Fingers crossed 🤞
