In just four years of losing its capital and IT hub Hyderabad to Telangana, Andhra Pradesh earned the top rank in India in World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index in 2018. So what propelled this state to grow at such a speed? Post the growing IT Hub Hyderabad went to Telangana, there was a huge vacuum created that needed immediate refilling. The state acted on its foot and soon established enabling bodies like TiE Amaravati,

Startup Accelerator India and more to create a level-playing field for startups to mushroom.

Despite being the neighbor of two already established IT hubs of India, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, the state is fostering entrepreneurship and a culture of innovation. Today, Andhra Pradesh innovation society provides the state-of-the-art facilities to incubate startups and even provides an opportunity to get funded from investors.
