The Andhra Pradesh Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Rules, 1953 are available for AP.
As per Industrial Employment Standing Orders Act 1946 :--
(e) “industrial establishment” means
(i) an industrial establishment as defined in clause (ii) of Section 2 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, or
As per Payment of wages Act 1936 'industrial establishments' as defined by Se.2(ii) of the Act. defines :
(ii) 4*["industrial or other establishment" means]--
5*[(a) tramway service, or motor transport service engaged in carrying passengers or goods or both by road for hire or reward;
(aa) air transport service other than such service belonging to, or exclusively employed in the military, naval or air forces of the Union or the Civil Aviation Department of the Government of India;

8*[(h) any other establishment or class of establishments which the Central Government or a State Government may, having regard to the nature thereof, the need for protection of persons employed therein and other relevant circumstances, specify, by notification in the Official Gazette.
By this definition, IT/ITES industry is not attracted and hence the said Act is not applicable. This is as per my knowledge
