The CM made the remarks while laying the foundation stone for a number of projects in Gautam Budh Nagar district, including that for US tech firm Microsoft's new research and development facility in Noida Sector 145. He also inaugurated a number of ventures in Noida and Greater Noida, including two projects in Sector 132—a Sify data centre and an MAQ artificial intelligence centre.

"Noida has made a name on the global front with the opening up of IT firms and Data centre projects as it has not only created thousands of jobs but also business opportunities. Today Noida alone makes at least 70% of the mobiles in the country, creating history by becoming the city of opportunities for the youth," he said.

"The Noida centre of Microsoft will be the company's largest research and development facility in India, further solidifying the city's role in the country's growing technology landscape. This new hub is expected to boost India's technical ecosystem, contribute to advancements in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and cybersecurity, and help realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for a digitally empowered nation," he said.
