Hyderabad's technology hub, home to Google, Microsoft, Amazon offices, and modern shopping malls.

About HITEC City (IT Hub)

HITEC City (Hyderabad Information Technology and Engineering Consultancy City) is India's second-largest IT hub after Bangalore, a gleaming district of glass towers housing the Indian operations of Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Qualcomm, and hundreds of other tech companies. The area has transformed western Hyderabad from scrubland to a global tech powerhouse.

The surrounding neighborhoods of Madhapur, Gachibowli, and Kondapur form the broader Cyberabad district, with upscale restaurants, craft breweries, shopping malls (Inorbit Mall, Next Galleria), and a rapidly growing nightlife scene. Shilparamam, a crafts village and cultural center, provides a traditional counterpoint to the tech-driven landscape.

HITEC City is connected to the rest of Hyderabad by the Hyderabad Metro (Blue Line), which reaches Raidurg station near the tech corridor. The area has excellent business hotels (Novotel, Park Hyatt, Westin) and is significantly closer to the airport than the Old City, making it the practical choice for business travelers.
