“Given Hyderabad's highly-skilled workforce, the steadfast support of the government, and a dynamic investor landscape, the city is poised to become a preeminent force not only within India's startup landscape, but potentially on the global stage as well.” — Mahankali Srinivas Rao (MSR), CEO of T-Hub
