As businesses across healthcare, education, retail, and real estate increasingly adopt digital-first strategies, and as structures supporting innovation and entrepreneurship gain momentum, Telangana is positioning itself as a key hub for future-facing marketing practices tailored to local contexts and global outreach goals.
