On Business in Hyderabad? Where to Eat, Drink, and Extend Your Stay

These days, if you’re headed to India on business, it’s likely that Hyderabad will feature prominently on your itinerary. The south Indian tech capital ranked first in a global study of the world’s fastest-growing urban economies and real estate markets by professional services firm JLL—proving that Hyderabad’s red-hot startup scene is only going to get hotter.

That should come as no surprise. Already, Google’s biggest office outside the U.S. is there, and Microsoft, Facebook, Deloitte, and Oracle—to name a few—have constructed sprawling campuses. Add a savvy government that’s recently pledged $6.3 billion in the next three years to bolster infrastructure and thereby support tech incubators and infrastructure, and you’ll understand why Hyderabad now rivals Bangalore for the mantle of India’s Silicon Valley.
