Telangana has a significant amount of Software export in India. While the majority of the Industry is concentrated in Hyderabad, other cities are also becoming significant IT destinations in the state.

Hyderabad's IT exports exceeded $7 billion in 2014.[1] There have been extensive investments in digital infrastructure.

In Hyderabad, the central region of the business happens in HITEC City, in the Madhapur suburb. Development of HITEC City prompted several IT and ITES companies to set up operations in the city, and has led civic boosters to call their city "Cyberabad".

Hyderabad today has several software technology campuses containing companies that include:

In 2007,"Fab City", a silicon chip manufacturing facility, was finalised to be set up in the city with an investment of 13,300 crore ($3 billion) by the AMD-SemIndia consortium.[2]

India's semiconductor ecosystem is poised to shape up with the government receiving seven confirmed investment proposals worth $7 billion for Fab City in Hyderabad. In addition, five more proposals amounting to $800 million have got an in-principle approval while three others are under active consideration.

However, the government had to cancel the allotment of land to 19 companies, including Moser Baer (100 acres) and MIC Electronics (15 acres) involving a total extent of 430 acres in the past as they failed to execute the projects as promised.[3]

Notable IT Entrepreneurs

Genome Valley

It is an Indian high-technology business district spread across 600 km² in Hyderabad, India. Centered across the suburbs Shamirpet, Medchal, Uppal, Patancheru, Jeedimetla, Gachibowli and Keesara, the Valley has developed as a cluster for Biomedical research, training and manufacturing.[7][8][9]

Genome valley was commissioned in 1999 as S. P. Biotech Park by the then Chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in a public-private partnership with Bharat Biotech International, and its founder Krishna Ella, alongside private infrastructure companies such as Shapoorji Pallonji Group and ICICI Bank.[10] In 2009, U.S. based infrastructure giant Alexandria Real Estate Equities has announced its plans to invest in the bio-cluster, which led to the Alexandria Knowledge Park SEZ.[11] The biocluster at Shameerpet holds Certification mark by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the European Union.[12]

The IKP Knowledge Park spread over 200 acres in Turakapally, is an initiative of ICICI Bank with five "innovation corridors" - a first of its kind knowledge-nurturing centre for Indian companies and a knowledge gateway for multinational companies".[13] The first phase of Innovation Corridor I, comprising 10 laboratories, around 3,000 ft² (300 m²) each, is operational and fully occupied. The second phase of Innovation Corridor I, comprising 16 laboratory modules of 1,700 ft² (170 m²) each, is ready for operation.

The Alexandria Knowledge Park spread over 300 acres in Turakapally, accommodates advance research and development infrastructure in multiple formats like multi-tenanted research buildings, incubation facilities, build-to-suit blocks and industrial plots. The Park has been developed in two phases. Phase I covers approximately 145 acres and Phase II covers approximately 162 acres of land. The Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation, SEZ,[14] the Lonza Group, SEZ, and[15] Alexandria SEZ, are the designated special economic zones of the Valley.[16]
