He took the oath of allegiance on the Bhagavad Gita and was styled as Lord Nagaraju of Bloomsbury. This appointment makes him the first Telugu to enter the House of Lords and among the youngest Indians to do so. "},{"text":"Nagaraju's journey from his upbringing in a middle-class family in Telangana to higher education in the UK has shaped his career in public policy and civic engagement. His introduction ceremony in the historic Lords chamber was supported by Lord Raval and Baroness Berger, and he signed an undertaking to abide by the code of conduct before taking his seat. Nagaraju's elevation carries symbolic weight for Telangana and underscores the growing influence of professionals with roots in regional India shaping international public policy conversations. "},{"text":"Academically, he completed his postgraduate studies in public administration at University College London, and he continues to contribute as a guest lecturer. Nagaraju's work lies at the intersection of governance and emerging technologies, particularly in the area of artificial intelligence and ethics in public administration. His presence in the House of Lords adds a new Indian—and distinctly Telugu—voice to legislative deliberations, contributing to the global dialogue on important policy issues."}]}}},"relatedArticles":{"edges":[{"node":{"uid":"shami-gets-relief-in-legal-battle","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Shami Gets Relief in Legal Battle"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad/35fa277e-736b-409a-8972-057aabeb6817_shami.JPG?auto=format,compress"},"datetime":"2026-05-20T13:15:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"bandi-sanjays-stunning-confession","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Bandi Sanjay’s Stunning Confession"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad/ag2nvaYofJOwHbUM_bandi.JPG?auto=format,compress&rect=0,0,2028,1000&w=2028&h=1000"},"datetime":"2026-05-20T12:24:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"centre-ready-to-back-hyd-metro-ii","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Centre Ready to Back Hyd Metro-II"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad/b7ff5077-9e6e-434a-8803-37cfde0f89ad_hyd+metro.JPG?auto=format,compress&rect=0,0,2028,1000&w=2028&h=1000"},"datetime":"2026-05-20T08:18:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"meta-platforms-begins-layoffs-affecting-8000-emplo","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Meta Platforms begins layoffs affecting 8,000 employees"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad/2b65c202-4199-4725-b2e4-4b6b1347b310_layoff.jpg?auto=format,compress&rect=0,0,2028,1000&w=2028&h=1000"},"datetime":"2026-05-20T04:20:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"india-emerges-ai-workplace-leader","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"India Emerges AI Workplace Leader"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad/agxCXqYofJOwHXH3_AIWP.JPG?auto=format,compress"},"datetime":"2026-05-19T10:42:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"fishermen-in-100-boats-reach-cbns-house","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Fishermen in 100 boats reach CBN’s house"},"img":{"url":"https://images.prismic.io/prad/agxf7KYofJOwHXb__fisherman.JPG?auto=format,compress&rect=0,0,2028,1000&w=2028&h=1000"},"datetime":"2026-05-19T12:18:00+0000"}}},{"node":{"uid":"early-exit---what-went-wrong-for-lsg-this-season","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Early exit -
