Google for Startups Hub to be launched in Hyderabad

Yet another landmark in the Hyderabad IT sector will be mapped with the Google for Startups (GfS) Hub set to be launched in Hyderabad as part of the MoU between Google and the Government of Telangana.

The Google Hub will be within T-Hub and is expected to be inaugurated by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on December 9 this year. T-Hub and Google will jointly accelerate AI-first startups, foster talent and create direct bridges to international markets and capital.

The strategic partnership is viewed as a foundational step in the startups and digital innovation space towards the broader economic vision to make Telangana a $1 trillion economy by 2034 and a $3 trillion economy by 2047.

Google will deploy senior experts across AI/ML, product, UX and GTM domains to conduct in-depth sessions for startups, student founders and developers. Tailored tracks would be run for women entrepreneurs, Tier-2 innovators and university talent, instilling an early innovation mindset among over 10,000 students annually.

Through its curated calendar of programmes, Google will bring top VCs from Silicon Valley, Japan and Southeast Asia, corporate innovation leaders from global enterprises, and founders of top AI startups to share journeys and engage with local ventures.

The hub is designed to serve as a breeding ground for AI-first startups solving real-world challenges across climate, health and education sectors, according to officials. Special AI-focused bootcamps and innovation days will equip startups with Google’s tools, cloud credits and AI/ML capabilities.

The government expects that by next year more than 200 startups will take birth with 30% of them focussing on AI/deep-tech. It is likely to attract over ₹50 crore in funding facilitated through Google and T-Hub investor networks.
