– AI Hub to have a board with world-renowned business personalities and a corpus fund
HYDERABAD, OCTOBER 11, 2025: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy directed officials to consider vibrant and unique designs for the proposed T-Square, making it an iconic structure and a happening place for Hyderabad. He asked the officials to ensure the works for the development of T-Square commence by the end of November.
The government took up the development of T-Square as an ambitious project to create a new public destination at a high-profile location in the heart of Hyderabad’s IT office space landscape, Raidurg. The aim is to create a digital canvas for Hyderabad, taking into account the needs of the social media age.
The Chief Minister held a review meeting along with IT & Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu at the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) here on Saturday. Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan, Special Chief Secretary Sanjay Kumar, OSD to CM Vemula Srinivasulu, TGIIC MD K. Shashanka, Deputy Secretary Bhavesh Mishra, T-Fiber MD Venu Prasad, and other officials attended the meeting.
The Chief Minister instructed that T-Square should be designed as an intersection of entertainment, tourism, food and business, thus attracting visitors round-the-clock. The plan is to develop a world-class digital display facade by illuminating the area with large electronic displays and vibrant digital advertisements, creating a lively experience for visitors.
He suggested that provisions be made to accommodate major global players like Apple within T-Square. The designs should keep in mind the parking needs to ensure seamless vehicular movement in the area.
While the new public arena is being planned to offer entertainment, cultural events and commercial activities, the Chief Minister recommended that it is designed to be compatible for the corporates.
AI Innovation Hub
The Chief Minister also discussed the plans towards establishing an AI Innovation Hub in the city. The idea is to integrate all existing AI initiatives, startups and Centres of Excellence under one umbrella, and also to collaborate with global companies, research institutes and international AI hubs.
Minister Sridhar Babu emphasised the need to create a fund of funds to advance the state’s vision of AI-based innovation and support startups. He stressed the government’s adoption of an innovation-driven strategy to drive growth in the age of artificial intelligence.
Since 2024, the government has taken up several AI initiatives as part of a larger goal to position Telangana as a leading global destination for AI. The Global AI Summit was held in September 2024, the AI City project plan was announced, the Telangana AI Rising Grand Challenge was held and an AI catalyst program was organised for the state government officials. Besides, the Telangana Data Exchange (TGDeX), India’s first state-led digital public infrastructure, was launched.
Skilling is a crucial part of the exercise to unify all AI assets of Telangana. The state government is already making efforts to create a dedicated AI university to provide AI skill training to students and workforce.
