Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy-led 'Telangana Rising' delegation entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Blaize, a California-based company that designs energy-efficient AI hardware and full-stack software for data-centre AI computing.
The agreement, reached during a meeting with Dinakar Munagala, co-founder and CEO, Blaize, at WEF 2026 in Davos on Wednesday, is focused on accelerating Telangana's initiatives in electronics, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Blaize has partners for hybrid AI infrastructure across Asia focusing on smart cities and industry solutions, and a dedicated R&D and engineering centre in Hyderabad. During the meeting, the two sides deliberated on the state's support for scaling Blaize’s Hyderabad R&D centre.
Revanth Reddy said Telangana's aim of becoming an AI data-centre hub is key to the state's vision for $3 trillion growth over the next two decades. “Our state is rapidly emerging as a progressive, technology-driven state, with high-impact initiatives across AI, data centres, quantum computing, hardware, and automation.”
IT minister D. Sridhar Babu explained that the state is launching the 'Telangana AI Innovation Hub' — the state’s strategic nerve centre on AI — driving investments, research, and innovation to position Hyderabad as a premier global AI destination.
