The Hyderabad’s Entrepreneurial Ecosystem:
Hyderabad today stands out as one of India’s fastest-growing innovation hubs, combining world-class infrastructure, a deep talent pool, and a proactive policy environment. The Telangana tech ecosystem is valued at over US $8.3 billion, with annual growth rates approaching 37 %. Strong institutional support from flagship enablers such as T-Hub, WE-Hub, T-Works, RICH, and the Telangana State Innovation Cell ensures the city’s startups receive mentorship, funding links, and world-class facilities. T-Hub alone supports over 2,000 startups, helping them raise significant capital and create thousands of jobs.
In 2024, Hyderabad’s tech startups saw an impressive 160 % jump in funding, reaching US $571 million across 81 rounds — a strong rebound in the post-funding-winter climate. The city is also rapidly gaining traction in AI, deep tech, fintech, healthtech, and enterprise software, with global capability centres (GCCs) increasingly anchoring R&D and innovation operations here. The presence of top academic and research institutions (such as IIT Hyderabad, IIIT-H, and ISB), combined with relatively lower cost of operations and high quality of life, adds to Hyderabad’s attractiveness for founders and investors alike.
That said, challenges remain — including limited visibility for some regional startups and gaps in access to large-scale capital, especially in early stages. The upcoming Entrepreneurship Summit aims to bridge those gaps by connecting emerging innovators with marquee investors, global partners, and cross-sector insights.
