Hyderabad: The Telangana IT Department and Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited have geared up works for T-Hub phase-II in Raidurgam. Officials are expecting the project to be launched in the next 10 months.
The government has verified as many as 42 blueprints and designs for the project and picked one. Principal IT secretary Mr Jayesh Ranjan said Phase-I of T-Hub was established in the premises of International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) campus in Gachibowli with a capacity of 900 start-up incubators, but T-Hub phase-II would have space for about 3,000 start-up groups.
“The T-Hub phase-II will have 3 lakh square feet space whereas phase-I has 70,000 square feet. IIIT, ISB and Nalsar University are supporting young entrepreneurs in
T-Hub,” he said. He said phase-I was limited to a few sectors like IT, but the second phase would give simultaneous priority to film editing, video editing, multimedia and gaming zones apart from Information Technology start-ups.
“The government will take assistance of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Media Labs and University of Texas (Houston) in phase-II of T-Hub,” Mr. Ranjan said.
“The Telangana government is now concentrating on phase-III and we are expecting its functioning by 2020 with a space for 10,000 incubators for start-ups.”
