In a year's time, the government realised the need for a much larger space for startups to grow and connect and thus the idea of ​​T-Hub 2.0 came into existence. Now, almost six years later, a 3,70,000 sq ft building, five times bigger than the earlier T-Hub, stands in Hyderabad's Raidurg.

Designed by Korean company Space, the spacecraft-inspired facility is a 10-story building and can accommodate up to 4,000 startups. Built with an investment of Rs 400 crore, this building will not only have dedicated spaces for entrepreneurs, but will also provide direct communication between investors and young innovators.
