Google and the Government of Telangana on Tuesday announced the launch of the Google for Startups Hub at T-Hub in Hyderabad. It is the first Google-branded startups hub to be launched as part of Telangana’s incubation and innovation ecosystem.
The Hub was inaugurated by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu. The initiative aims to support AI-first startups, build talent, and connect founders to international markets.
As part of the programme, Google will engage startups from Telangana through year-long, free dedicated coworking seats for selected AI-first startups and provide access to a curated network of venture investors. The Hub is part of the global Google for Startups network and will support founders from early-stage ideas to scaling AI-led businesses in India and overseas.
The facility will offer physical infrastructure, mentoring, AI expertise, and access to Google teams across AI/ML, product, user experience, and go-to-market strategies. Support will also be extended to women entrepreneurs, innovators from Tier-2 cities, and university-linked startups.
