Hello Perth! Greetings from Visakapatnam. We are visiting the sprawling Andhra Med Tech Zone. I was honoured to meet Dr Sharma, the visionary leader of AMTZ. Have a look at the world time zone behind. Do you see Perth time? We should make Dr Sharma an honorary citizen of Perth!

Hey Team UWA, or anyone interested in improving construction efficiency! This impressive building at the Andhra Med Tech Zone, a sprawling medical technology hub in Visakhapatnam, was built in 78 days! A challenge for us all! Can we build our next building in 178 days?
