Hyderabad 2035: What's Next for Our City?

Hyderabad has gone from Cyberabad to a global capability hub in two decades. What does the next decade look like - and where are the opportunities hiding?

Join us for a candid conversation with Srikanth Lanka, one of the few people who has seen Hyderabad's growth story from both sides of the table. As Former Chief Strategy Officer and Director of Emerging Technologies & IT Promotions for the Government of Telangana (2024–26), Srikanth was at the centre of the state's tech and investment strategy. He brings with him over nine years at Google across London, Dublin, Mountain View and Hyderabad, followed by a senior leadership role at iQuanti in New York — and is now building his own venture.

The conversation centres on one question: Hyderabad's Trillion Dollar Ambition — what does the road ahead look like? Srikanth will take us through the technologies defining the city's next growth wave, upcoming corridors and micro-markets to watch, industries where Hyderabad has a genuine edge, and the government policies shaping what comes next.

Format: 20-minute talk, followed by a fireside chat and open Q&A.
