Chandrababu Naidu played a key role in the development of HITEX Exhibition Center and HICC (Hyderabad International Convention Centre) as part of the larger HITEC City initiative. His vision as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in the late 1990s aimed to position Hyderabad as a major IT and business destination.

Under Naidu's leadership, HITEX (Hyderabad International Trade Expositions Limited) was established to provide a platform for trade exhibitions, conferences, and business events. The HICC was built within the HITEC City complex to serve as a state-of-the-art venue for international conventions and conferences, attracting business leaders, professionals, and events from around the world.

Chandrababu Naidu's emphasis on infrastructure development and creating a conducive environment for business events contributed to the success of HITEX and HICC, making them integral components of Hyderabad's growth as a global business and technology hub.
