In the dynamic landscape of Indian startups, Hyderabad has emerged as a shining star of innovation and entrepreneurial achievement. Over the past decade, this bustling city has undergone a remarkable transformation, drawing in substantial funding and establishing itself as a formidable player alongside established startup hubs like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.
In a significant development for Hyderabad's entrepreneurial community, the Young Entrepreneurs Association (YEA) of Hyderabad has officially launched a startup fund with an initial corpus of Rs 5 crore. This move signals the association's unwavering commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship within the city, with plans to expand the fund size once the initial corpus is effectively deployed.

As part of its strategic vision, YEA Hyderabad has entered into agreements with key ecosystem players, including T-Hub. These collaborations are designed to identify and nurture startups in Hyderabad, providing them with essential support and guidance.
"We have entered into agreements with ecosystem players like T-Hub to identify and nurture start-ups in the city. YEA Hyderabad was established on the principles of ‘Meet, Connect, and Grow’ and promoting entrepreneurship among the entrepreneurs in the age group of 25 to 37 years,” a spokesperson has said in a statement.
