Hyderabad, May 20, 2024….We are here for a change. Our government is sincerely trying to bring in changes on all fronts in the state, said D.

The Minister was invited to be the chief guest at the summit of Facility Managers organised by decade old Telangana Facility Managers Council (TFMC).

Speaking on the occasion the Minister said that the firm foundation for the IT and ITES industry was laid in 1992 and since then in the past three decades, it has witnessed exponential growth. Over the years a beautiful ecosystem was also developed. We all are proud of our IT Industry. Our government came into power five months ago and in between, we have a poll code of conduct. The Chief Minister of the state Mr. Revanth Reddy has been working 24×7 for the past three months to fulfil the dreams of the people which were not realised during the previous government ruling.

Speaking about the IT industry in the state, D. Sridhar Babu said, we are working to bring the best brains back to Telangana. Our IT industry is at the number two position now and we would like to see it at a number one position. The Y2K Bug was the turning point for the software industry. Now AI (Artificial Intelligence) is another such moment. Chief Minister wants Telangana to take a lead, and it is his vision. We want Hyderabad positioned as the ‘AI capital of India’. It is our earnest desire to see Hyderabad as an AI City. We want to see Hyderabad as the most happening city for AI activity. We would like to see the city as a house for AI research. Who is who of the AI world must work from here, and more and more AI products and services be developed from here. Telangana would like to set up a dedicated Artificial Intelligence City. We have already allocated 200 acres of land to position Hyderabad as India’s ‘AI capital’. The AI City will be a city for tomorrow’s work. We will certainly require the services of TFMC (Telangana Facility Management Council), he added

AI is expected to capture every breadth of human life soon. We would like to take an early lead to be at the forefront of that technological development. Aiming for technology-driven growth, the Telangana government plans to host the AI Global Summit in Hyderabad in July, the Minister revealed. We will see that many AI intellectuals from across the globe take part in the Summit. The Telangana government will absorb AI into its governance, Sridhar Babu added.

Another important step and the most ambitious project we are looking at is the setting up of a Skill University in August this year. It will be on par with the best of the best global institutions. It is going to be another landmark like ISB for the city of Hyderabad. By doing so we would like to fill the gap between industry and academia that exists now. Right now we are finalising the modalities. However, we welcome suggestions, and professional expertise from experts on its constitution, modalities, policy frameworks etc, D. Sridhar Babu said

Sridhar Babu gave away mementoes of appreciation to the partners of the 10th Green Annual FM Summit 2024 who made it possible.

Later TFMC presented the Social Excellence Awards and the Green Awards. The Social Excellence Awards were presented to a couple of traffic cops.

The Best Greening the Future award 2023-2024 was presented to L & T Metro; Eco Warriors-MSN Labs: Best Sustainable Solutions — My Home Group; Earth’s Champion Award—Sattva Knowledge City; Green Innovation Award to Raheja Mindspace; Shaping a Greener Tomorrow award to Q-City; Sustainability in Action Award to Divya Sree NSL; Eco trailblazer award to RMZ; Eco Champion award to Micron; Environmental Stewardship Award to Microsoft; Eco Advocate Leadership award to TCS; Eco Innovation Trail Blazer Award to Infosys; Green leadership innovation award to GMR; Sustainability catalyst award to NSL; Eco-conscious community engagement award to Innopolis; Green technology integration award to EXTRA and Conservation Excellence award to LTI Mindtree.

Followed by this a Handloom Ramp walk was organised where facility management professionals from 21 IT companies both men and women sporting handloom garments walked on the ramp. The purpose behind such a ramp walk which has been an annual feature of FM Summit each year was to encourage people wear handloom clothes at least once a week so that the poor weavers get encouragement.

Facility management (FM) is a profession that improves business and lives by ensuring functionality, comfort, safety, and efficiency of the built environment and is practised by 25 million people around the world, said Telangana Facilities Management Council (TFMC)’s President, Satyanarayana Mathala

The summit focused on future technology and AI Practices which every Facility Manager will use in the next 10 years.

IT offices are geared up for their employees to come back: Telangana Facilities Management Council (TFMC)

Feb 4, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #IT offices, #President of Telangana Facilities Management Council, #Satyanarayana Mathala

Hyderabad: IT offices, facilities are fully geared up to welcome back employees to their workplaces, informs Satyanarayana Mathala, President of Telangana Facilities Management Council (TFMC).

TFMC is a 400 members strong professional body of facilities management professionals that supervises smooth functioning of 1500 plus IT Offices in and around the tri-cities of Cyberabad, Hyderabad, and Secunderabad in which nearly 6.5 lakh IT employees work, informed Satya.

The delegation of TFMC under his leadership consisted of TFMC office bearers called on Tuesday Dr. G Srinivas Rao, Director of Public Health and Family Welfare, Government of Telangana, and informed of their preparedness in welcoming back the IT employees into their offices. Though we are prepared, employees are not willing to come back to the office. To give them the confidence, TFMC appealed to the officer to consider Facilities Management professionals including 3rd party staff- Housekeeping, M&E, the security of IT facilities, who have been taking care of IT facilities as Covid Warriors and requested the Government to give them vaccines on a priority basis. This will give some kind of confidence for the employees to come back to offices they observed.

The officer assured all their cooperation in winning back the confidence of the IT workforce. Dr. G. Srinivas Rao assured them that he would join them in any initiative of TFMC taken up to win back the confidence of IT employees.

“We are working on a plan so that employees can come back to the office in a phased manner. Currently, just 7% to 12% of staff working in the major IT parks is attending to their offices. We would like to improve this number at least to 25%, said TMFC President Satyanarayana Mathala.

The employees though moving around freely in the city are not willing to join back in offices. We need to gain their confidence, observed a TFMC office bearer.

Many companies in different industries already called back their staff. Now that schools and colleges are also open, it is time for the IT staff to turn back to their offices, they observed.

IT companies are also making a cautious start to resume office for a section of their workforce as the country is back their offices said another office-bearer of TFMC

Coming back to the desk at the office would sound like a treat to many now, they added.

Though work from home is not affecting their productivity, prolonged work from home is also putting a bad impact on their relationships, while some are comfortable, most of them want to come back to offices. Every IT company is looking at every other company calling back to offices and but, they don’t want to be the first company to bell the cat. A beginning has to be made somewhere, the TFMC maintained.

Although the curbs are relaxed, some IT and technology companies are in no rush to bring employees back to offices as long as their productivity is ensured.

Some companies are also considering a rotation of teams that come into the office, several other firms are even letting employees decide if they feel at ease returning to work, informed Satyanarayana Mathala
