As the #CapTech2026 India delegation continues its mission to build meaningful international partnerships, the journey recently brought the group to the dynamic city of Tumkur, officially known as Tumakuru, in Karnataka. Recognised as one of India’s rising industrial centres, Tumkur offered the delegation an opportunity to explore how regional growth initiatives are opening doors for global collaboration. The visit was graciously hosted by Subha Kalyan, I.A.S., Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate of Tumkur, who welcomed the delegation and facilitated discussions around the region’s development priorities and opportunities for international investment. Exploring India’s First Mega Food Park A highlight of the visit was a tour of the India Food Park, India’s first mega food processing park, inaugurated in 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Developed under the country’s food processing initiative, the park has become a major catalyst for agricultural value creation, food manufacturing, and supply chain innovation. For the delegation, it offered a clear view of how integrated infrastructure can support scalable investment and international collaboration. An Emerging Industrial Corridor Beyond food processing, Tumkur is rapidly evolving into a major industrial hub. The city forms part of a growing industrial corridor that is attracting domestic and international investors across manufacturing, logistics, and advanced industries. The region’s future outlook is equally ambitious. Tumkur is included in India’s Smart Cities Mission, reflecting its role in the country’s next generation of urban and economic development. Upcoming infrastructure projects—including a planned international cricket stadium expected by 2028 and a future extension of the Namma Metro Green Line connecting Bengaluru to Tumkur—will further strengthen the city’s connectivity and global investment appeal. Building the Foundations for Future Collaboration The visit to Tumkur represents more than a stop on the #CapTech delegation’s journey. It reflects a broader effort to identify regions where innovation, infrastructure, and international partnership can come together to create tangible outcomes. With conversations now underway and new relationships being formed, the Tumkur engagement marks another step forward in connecting global expertise with emerging opportunities across India.
