Adding a new chapter to the success story of the Indian Diaspora in the USA, Indian-origin Karandeep Anand is all set to become Disney’s first-ever Chief Technology Officer on 2 October 2026. Disney has created the company-wide CTO role for the first time and Anand will oversee enterprise technology, infrastructure, data and AI platforms, product and engineering across Disney. He will also serve as Senior Executive Vice President and report directly to Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro.

Currently based in San Francisco, Karandeep’s journey began in India. He grew up in a middle-class family and developed an early interest in computers. He studied Computer Science at IIIT Hyderabad and graduated with a B.Tech (Hons) in 2003. He also completed a Marketing and Strategy certification at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management in 2007. His India to USA journey started through Microsoft.

Karandeep joined Microsoft as a product management intern in Hyderabad in 2000, while still pursuing his degree. In September 2002, he moved into Microsoft Azure and began working in the Greater Seattle area in the United States. He spent 13 years building and leading teams across Azure’s cloud platforms, products, payments and marketplace ecosystem. He later took on senior leadership roles at Facebook and Meta.

After Meta, he became President and Chief Product Officer at fintech company Brex. Karandeep then entered the fast-growing AI world as an adviser and later CEO of Character.AI. His career has crossed cloud computing, social platforms, fintech, and artificial intelligence. In 2026, IIIT Hyderabad honoured him with its Alumni Achiever Award.

After being officially designated as the permanent and sole capital of Andhra Pradesh in April 2026, Amaravati is now getting its own immigration office. On September 22, the Ministry of Home Affairs approved a new Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) in the capital city. It will oversee foreigner registrations, immigration matters, visa extensions, and visa conversions, benefiting NRIs, OCIs, international students, foreign nationals, and other eligible visitors staying in Andhra Pradesh.

Amaravati becomes the 17th FRRO office in India, after Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Kolkata, Lucknow, Trivandrum, Kozhikode, Cochin, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Puducherry, and Aizawl. Previously, AP, Telangana, and Odisha came under the jurisdiction of the FRRO in Hyderabad. With this change, AP will have a dedicated FRRO authority headquartered in Amaravati. You will no longer need to travel to Hyderabad for many immigration-related formalities that can be handled through the new office.

While there is no update yet on when the new FRRO office will open and begin offering services, its approval comes at a time when AP is seeing growing international activity. The state has been recording more than 3 lakh foreign tourist visits in recent years and has thousands of foreign students enrolled in higher education. As Amaravati develops into an administrative, business and investment hub, the city is expected to attract more foreign professionals, investors, students and business visitors.

Amaravati is also preparing for stronger air connectivity with an upcoming international greenfield airport spread across around 7,500 acres. Phase 1 of the project is estimated to cost approximately ₹4,700 crore. It will support the city’s future passenger demand and reduce pressure on the existing Vijayawada International Airport. Together with the new FRRO, such infrastructure signals Amaravati’s transition from a planned capital into a city designed to serve an increasingly global Andhra Pradesh.
