Satyanarayana, IT Advisor to the State Government, will visit Kochi on Friday for a firsthand understanding of the Start-up Village established there. Once the policies get crystallised, all-out promotion of Andhra Pradesh would be taken up to convince investors in India and abroad, particularly in the United States and Japan for software sector and Taiwan and South Korea for hardware.
