ver dreamt about starting-up? About owning a company? We
all have so many vibrant ideas in mind to change our today into a
better tomorrow. Most of our ideas don’t get the proper direction
and they remain ‘just’ as ideas. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some-
one who would understand the essence of our ideas and assist us in
building them? Well what better time to pursue your dream than
now and what better place than right here in our own city? In case
you are stuck with how to lay the foundation stone to your dreams,
time to put worries aside because we now have T-hub by our side!

As the first lesson in any entrepreneurship program, we need to
know what a start-up is, A start-up is any company/organisation
which aims to develop an innovative product and produce it in the
marketplace for people to be able to use it for their benefit. There
are no boundaries specified for what kind of people should work in
a start-up. You can be anyone, all you need is one amazing idea and
the dedication to pursue it, you are good to go because T-hub does
the rest for you.

WHAT IS T-HUB
Well to begin with, we can start by getting to know how difficult
it is to actually give our idea a foundation to be built upon. Most
of the people have a brilliant idea and lack in the knowledge
about how to move forward with it or may face any difficulties
with financing it or any miscellaneous obstacles. To make sure
great ideas are not left behind, the government of Telangana
took up an initiative called the T-hub. T-Hub (Telangana Hub)
is India’s largest incubator for start-ups and one of the fastest
growing start up engine located in Hyderabad, Telangana. It is
a unique public/private partnership between the government of
Telangana, three of India’s premier academic institutes (IIIT-H,
ISB and NALSAR) and key private sector leaders. It stands at the
intersection of the start up, academic, corporate, research and
government. To make things easy t-hub has already tied up with
20 venture capitalists, has collaborated with the ISB, IIIT-H and
NALSAR being the prominent of the various other organisa-
tions.

T-Hub said that the centre already has 120 start-ups and organi-
sations signed up to occupy seats and cabins and another 200 are
in the pipeline.-A senior official
