When we decided to quit Kerala and withdrew our investment of Rs 3,500 crore, I got invitations from all the states in India and other countries too, he said.

He said that he is in Telangana because of K.T. Rama Rao, who was the first person to call him and personally invite him. KTR said Jacob told him that he would kick start the unit in Warangal in November 2022. He also assured all support to the company in setting up both the plants. He thanked Jacob for announcing 150,000 PPE kits worth Rs 6 crore for Telangana under corporate social responsibility.
