The Hyderabad Entrepreneurship Summit (HES) 2026 will be organised by The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) Hyderabad on November 20. According to a BusinessLine report, the summit is expected to involve over 2,000 entrepreneurs and business leaders, more than 120 investors, and over 80 speakers.
Telangana's IT and Industry Minister D. Sridhar Babu will deliver the keynote address on the theme 'Telangana: Building the Next Generation of Global Enterprises', while Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju will present the opening keynote titled 'Bet on Hyderabad'.
Murali Kakerala, President of TiE Hyderabad and Convener of HES 2026, stated that their objective is to attract global capital for businesses being established here. He explained to BusinessLine that the city possesses innovation, corporate and government ecosystems, a policy framework, and entrepreneurs building companies. By bringing all these elements together, they intend to send a strong message to the global investor community.
Kakerala further added that Hyderabad is a leader in Global Capability Centres (GCCs), defence and pharma sectors, and now they want Hyderabad to lead in entrepreneurial leadership as well. According to the organisers, this summit will also serve as a curtain-raiser for the 'Invest Telangana Global Summit 2026'.
Promoted by the Hyderabad Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Collective (HEEC), the summit will feature various panel discussions and masterclasses. Opportunities in Artificial Intelligence (AI), defence, space infrastructure, investment, quick commerce, family offices and SME IPOs will be discussed. Additionally, an expo will be organised featuring pavilions based on AI, space and defence, social impact and sports.
As part of the summit, 50 startups from the state will be identified through 'TiE50 Telangana 2026'. The selected startups will receive founder support, mentorship, access to TiE's global network and partner benefits worth over ₹5 lakh for 12 months.
According to Murali Kakerala, being included in the TiE50 list will help validate the position of companies when they approach investors. This will make it easier for them to enter the market, acquire customers and raise funds. These data points will be verified by partners, with KPMG serving as the audit and publication partner.
