## Anand Mahindra's beach observation
Anand Mahindra described Gangavaram Beach near Visakhapatnam as not a conventional beach with towering rocky cliffs.

> Not the conventional image of a tropical beach. No rows of swaying coconut palms or picture-postcard scenery. Instead, towering rocky cliffs & a rugged, almost prehistoric beauty
## The 'interesting irony'
Mahindra noted an interesting irony as tech giants build data centers in Visakhapatnam while nature created rugged landscapes millions of years ago.

> But judging by these photographs, nature got into the hyperscaling business here millions of years ago!
## Visakhapatnam's dual potential
Mahindra suggested Visakhapatnam could become both a major tech hub and one of India's most sought-after coastal leisure destinations.

> Vizag [Visakhapatnam] is clearly on its way to becoming a major technology hub. But I suspect it also has the potential to become one of India's most sought-after coastal leisure destinations.
## Key takeaway

Anand Mahindra praised Gangavaram Beach's 'raw beauty' and highlighted an 'interesting irony' as tech companies build data centers in Visakhapatnam.
