T-Hub phase-II to be completed by 2018

The Telangana government is looking at the second phase of the incubation space by early next year. The space, which is going to build on a space of 3,50,000 square feet, will entail an investment of Rs 180 crore.

The State IT Minister K T Rama Rao had announced in June 2016 that the second phase is scheduled to come in the next three years, but with the tenders being finalised, the government is expediting the process.

T-Hub Founder and COO Srinivas Kollipara informed that the construction of the building has started and it is



likely to come up near a 20 acre game park planned by the government in Hi-Tech city area. “We should be getting the operations of the building by early 2018. In addition to startups, the space will also house corporate research and development centres, incubators and investors as well,” he added.

T-Hub is a public-private partnership between the Telangana government, academic institutions and key private sector players. It was setup in collaboration with IIIT-Hyderabad, ISB and NALSAR University of Law on November 5, 2015. The centre houses a 70,000 square feet building called the CatalysT and has about 250 startups working in it.
