We see this partnership as a convergence of policy vision and technological leadership. Telangana has consistently invested in digital infrastructure, startup-friendly regulations, and innovation-led growth. Google’s entry through a dedicated startup hub at T-Hub Hyderabad brings structured mentorship, global market access, and advanced AI capabilities into the ecosystem. Together, we are building an environment where founders can ideate, validate, and scale solutions with global relevance.

We are prioritizing AI-first startups that are building solutions across sectors such as healthcare, fintech, education, smart mobility, agritech, and enterprise automation. The Hub provides startups with access to Google’s AI tools, cloud technologies, and responsible AI frameworks, enabling founders to build scalable, secure, and ethical products. This focus ensures that innovation emerging from Hyderabad aligns with global technology standards.

We are offering selected startups year-long coworking spaces within T-Hub, ensuring continuous collaboration with peers, mentors, and industry experts. Founders benefit from hands-on mentorship by Google professionals, technical deep dives, and strategic guidance on product-market fit, scalability, and go-to-market execution. Through Google’s global platforms, startups gain international visibility, opening pathways to cross-border partnerships and customers.

We are intentionally expanding access to founders from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, women-led enterprises, and university incubated startups. This inclusive approach ensures that innovation talent across India can leverage world-class infrastructure without the burden of relocation. By democratizing access to global resources, we are accelerating balanced and sustainable startup growth.

We align with the vision articulated by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, who emphasized that Hyderabad is poised to become a global launchpad for innovation. The Hub strengthens Telangana’s ability to nurture ideas conceived locally and scale them globally. With consistent policy support and international collaboration, we are creating a resilient innovation economy rooted in talent and technology.

We view the Hub as a natural extension of Telangana’s robust innovation framework. T-Hub Hyderabad already hosts some of India’s most promising startups, incubators, and corporate innovation programs. The addition of Google’s startup hub elevates this ecosystem by integrating global best practices, advanced AI research exposure, and structured scaling pathways for founders.

We are embedding responsible AI principles into startup development, ensuring solutions are transparent, secure, and socially impactful. Through workshops, technical sessions, and expert-led mentorship, founders gain clarity on deploying AI ethically while maintaining compliance with global standards. This approach enhances long-term credibility and investor confidence.

We are enabling startups to connect directly with venture capital firms, angel investors, and corporate partners through curated networking events and demo opportunities. These interactions improve funding readiness and accelerate commercialization. By aligning startups with investor expectations early, we are increasing their success rate in competitive global markets.

We recognize the Google for Startups Hub at T-Hub Hyderabad as a catalyst for India’s next wave of AI-led entrepreneurship. By combining Google’s technological leadership with Telangana’s innovation-first governance, we are building an ecosystem that nurtures talent, attracts investment, and delivers globally relevant solutions. This initiative reinforces Hyderabad’s role as a central node in the global startup economy and sets a new benchmark for public–private collaboration in innovation.
