Ecosystem enablers T-Hub and Telangana AI Mission (T-AIM)
Startups building citizen-facing AI tools (health advisory, agri-advisory, urban-mobility apps) using government datasets available on TGDeX.
The ‘Telangana AI Rising’ Grand Challenge, which drew 420+ proposals from 240+ startups to build on the platform pre-launch.
Cross-department AI pilots, with 20+ Telangana government departments already contributing datasets.
Research institutions accessing AI-ready data and compute for public-sector-relevant AI/ML research.
More than 1000+ datasets from Telangana state departments at launch, spanning sectors such as health, agriculture, and governance, with plans to onboard private and academic data contributors. Datasets, AI models, and compute resources are accessible through registration and, for restricted resources, additional approval.
CDPG designed and built the exchange, providing the technical architecture and governance framework that make the sandbox model possible.
Launched July 2025; live with 1000+ datasets and 20+ contributing departments, positioned as a national blueprint for state-led AI infrastructure.
