Hyderabad: Despite the pandemic, Telangana has created $1.6 billion in ecosystem value with $120 million in total early-stage funding over the last 2.5 years as per a report.

It cited that recruitment assistance and performance grants are the major reasons for startups to consider setting up their base in the State.

To promote the growth of local idea-stage companies, the State government offers recruitment assistance of Rs 10,000 per employee for their first year of operation.
