Authored by senior journalist and Repatikosam Chief Editor Shakamuri Srinivasa Prasad, the book has been translated into English by retired IAS officer K.V. Satyanarayana. The publication examines key decisions taken by Mr. Naidu over the years and analyses his leadership from the perspective of a visionary statesman.
Speaking on the occasion, the author said Mr. Naidu’s governance style and long-term planning could be compared with internationally acclaimed leaders such as Lee Kuan Yew and Jacinda Ardern. He said Mr. Naidu’s focus on development, future-oriented vision and commitment to building Amaravati as Andhra Pradesh’s capital exemplified his leadership.

Former Andhra Pradesh RERA Chairman Ramanath said the book highlighted several lesser-known aspects of Mr. Naidu’s leadership and decision-making that had not been widely known outside official circles.
As part of the event, representatives of the Kakatiya Cultural Association presented a commemorative silver coin issued to mark the centenary celebrations of Singapore’s founding leader Lee Kuan Yew.
The organizers announced that CBN@361 Degrees will soon be released in Telugu, Hindi, and several other Indian languages. They also noted that the digital edition of the previously published book Chandrababu X.0 had recorded nearly eight million downloads.
According to the organisers, the book would serve as a resource for political researchers, students of leadership and governance, and management scholars interested in strategic decision-making and public administration.
