Telangana IT industry makes a mark, reaches an all-time high

HYDERABAD: The youngest State in the country has seen quite a remarkable increase in its Information Technology exports in the last five years. Conducive ecosystem for the IT sector, robust policies, stable government and favourable locations of Hyderabad have cumulatively contributed to doubling the State’s IT exports to Rs 1.09 lakh crore from Rs 57,258 crore in 2013.

Soon after the formation of the State, in 2014, the IT, Electronics and Communications Department, helmed by KT Rama Rao, had set upon the task of proving a point to its critics, who during bifurcation claimed that creation of Telangana would hamper its image of Hyderabad as an IT hub.
