Google and Telangana Government Launch Google for Startups Hub in Hyderabad

Google and the Government of Telangana launched the Google for Startups Hub at T-Hub in Hyderabad today, establishing a dedicated space to support the region’s growing startup ecosystem and encourage the development of new innovations. This Hub is the first of its kind to be introduced as part of Telangana’s wider incubation and innovation network.

Through the Hub, Google plans to engage regional startups from Telangana, including offering free, year-long dedicated coworking seats for selected AI-first companies, along with access to a curated set of venture investors. In collaboration, Google and the Government of Telangana aim to support AI-first startups, nurture talent, and create direct pathways to international markets. As part of the global Google for Startups network, the Hub is designed to assist founders through each stage of their journey, from early incubation to scaling innovations responsibly across India and beyond.

The Google for Startups Hub will provide startups with physical infrastructure, mentoring, AI expertise, and opportunities for global visibility. Founders will gain access to Google experts across AI/ML, product, UX, and go-to-market, who will conduct detailed sessions for startups, student founders, and developers. The Hub will also support women entrepreneurs, innovators from Tier-2 regions, and university talent. A community space is included to encourage collaboration among startups, alumni, investors, and ecosystem partners, enabling peer learning and faster experimentation.

The facility includes dedicated infrastructure and technology resources for startups selected jointly by Google and the Government of Telangana. It also features networking areas and event spaces to host workshops, founder-focused programmes, market access initiatives, and community events.

The Hub was inaugurated on December 10, 2025 by the Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri A. Revanth Reddy as Chief Guest, and Shri D. Sridhar Babu, Minister for IT & Industries, as Guest of Honour.

Shri A. Revanth Reddy, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Telangana, said, “By welcoming Google for Startups  into Telangana Innovation and Start-up ecosystem, allocating a sprawling campus to Google for Startups Hub, we are laying the foundation of a globally competitive innovation ecosystem right here in Telangana. This is more than infrastructure. It is a promise that ideas conceived in Hyderabad  Telangana will have the mentorship, technology and market access to scale globally. With our policy-vision, private-sector momentum and the world’s best tech partners, Telangana is poised to become a launchpad for startups that are built here, for India, and for the world”

Preeti Lobana, Country Manager, Google India, said, “At Google, our mission is to empower founders with the tools, technology, and mentorship they need to scale. Partnering with the Government of Telangana allows us to bring the full stack of Google support to this ecosystem – from AI capabilities on Google Cloud to Android, Play, Ads and our broader developer and startup programs. In Hyderabad, the Google for Startups Hub will nurture talent and act as an innovation flywheel for startups, helping the next generation of Indian founders use AI to solve real-world challenges, focus on deep-tech solutions and build responsibly for India and the world.”
