CSIR Labs to Host Major Start-Up Conclave in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, April 15 โ€“ In a significant move to highlight Indiaโ€™s growing biotech and health innovation ecosystem, three prestigious CSIR institutes โ€” IICT, CCMB, and NGRI โ€” will host a major start-up conclave on April 22 and 23 at the Zahir Memorial School in Habsiguda, Hyderabad. The two-day event, titled CSIR Start-Up Conclave, will witness participation from over 200 start-ups showcasing cutting-edge products and technologies across life sciences and public health.

These start-ups, nurtured by the CSIR labs, are transforming innovation into impact by addressing real-world healthcare challenges. Dr. Sudarshan Reddy, founder of Oncosimis and former CCMB scientist, emphasized the importance of institutional support for early-stage companies: โ€œCCMB and IICT are nurturing places for new-born companies like ours. These institutes supported us right from the beginning.โ€

Oncosimis Biotech is developing low-cost pharmaceutical platforms, including novel monoclonal antibodies used in cancer therapy and mRNA-based vaccines. Meanwhile, innovations in animal health are also being promoted, with a focus on enhancing meat production in livestock using biologics.

Another notable start-up, Alithon, incubated at CCMB and IICT, is working on ultra-pure water solutions for dialysis, a sector currently lacking stringent regulations in India. Alithon has also expanded into international markets, including the US.

Pheezee, a med-tech venture by Startoon Labs, is another shining example of CSIRโ€™s impact. Their portable devices for muscle and joint assessment have found applications in rehabilitation and physiotherapy. โ€œItโ€™s all about good people and a good network,โ€ said Suresh Susurla, co-founder of Alithon.

This conclave will not only offer a platform for start-ups to connect with potential investors and partners but also serve as a testament to the success of public research institutions in fostering entrepreneurship.

With support from the Atal Incubation Centre and CSIRโ€™s research prowess, the event is expected to catalyze further innovation and inspire a new generation of health-tech entrepreneurs.

HPS Begumpet Students Shine at Prestigious IIMUN Belgium Conference 2025

In a remarkable international accomplishment, two bright students from The Hyderabad Public School, Begumpetโ€”Suhrudi Dyavanapalli (Grade 12) and PDV Sahruda (Grade 9)โ€”proudly represented their school and country at the Indiaโ€™s International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) Conference held in Belgium from March 27 to April 2, 2025.

The prestigious conference brought together young changemakers from schools across India and Europe, including delegates from Belgium, Poland, and Germany, to deliberate on global issues and practice the art of diplomacy and debate.

A Grand Opening at the Heart of Europe

The IIMUN Conference commenced with a grand opening ceremony at the European Parliament Headquarters in Brussels, a venue symbolic of unity and collaboration. The atmosphere was charged with purpose and promise as dignitaries like Kriลกjฤnis Kariล†ลก (former Prime Minister of Latvia), Ms. Hamisha Ahooja (Indian-Canadian filmmaker), and Mr. Bhaskar Bhushan (senior diplomat and education advocate) addressed the young delegates, encouraging them to become the voice of change in a rapidly evolving world.

Diplomacy in Action

Following the opening, committee sessions were hosted at the International School of Belgium, where students engaged in in-depth discussions on international issues. They honed essential skills such as public speaking, negotiation, resolution drafting, and collaborative problem-solving, all within the structured environment of the United Nations simulation.

Among the many accolades presented, PDV Sahruda stood out, receiving the High Commendation Award, a prestigious honor that recognizes both intellect and leadership in committee proceedings. Her ability to articulate perspectives and propose actionable resolutions earned her acclaim from peers and mentors alike.

A Cultural Journey Beyond the Conference

The IIMUN experience extended beyond debate rooms. As part of a carefully curated cultural immersion program, the students explored iconic landmarks such as the Atomium, the stunning city of Antwerp, the medieval charm of Ghent, and even the historic remnants of the Berlin Wallโ€”each stop offering insights into Europeโ€™s rich cultural and political heritage.

A Proud Moment for HPS Begumpet

Participation in such a globally significant event reflects the emphasis HPS Begumpet places on global exposure, leadership, and holistic education. The school continues to foster opportunities that allow its students to thrive on international platforms, preparing them to lead with empathy, awareness, and a global outlook.

Congratulations to Suhrudi Dyavanapalli and PDV Sahruda on this inspiring achievement. Your efforts have not only brought pride to your school but also serve as a beacon of inspiration for fellow students.

Telangana Aims to Train 2 Lakh AI Engineers, Says Minister Sridhar Babu

Hyderabad: In a bold push toward becoming a tech-forward state, the Telangana government has announced plans to train two lakh Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineers, according to State IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu.

The announcement came during a courtesy visit by a Singaporean delegation led by Consul General Edgar Pang to the Minister at the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Secretariat on Monday. Highlighting Telanganaโ€™s vision for the future, Sridhar Babu outlined several key initiatives aimed at making the state a hub for cutting-edge technologies.

Central to this vision is the development of a โ€˜Future Cityโ€™ designed to meet global standards, which will also house an AI University. The Minister revealed that multiple international organizations have shown keen interest in collaborating on the Future City project.

“Hyderabad is rapidly emerging as a key center for Global Capability Centers (GCCs),” he noted, pointing out that in the past year alone, around 70 GCCs in sectors like IT and hospitality have set up operations in the city.

In addition to boosting the tech ecosystem, the Minister stressed the government’s focus on balanced industrial development. He shared that efforts are underway to promote industrial growth beyond Hyderabad, with cities like Warangal and Karimnagar identified as promising hubs.

Calling for stronger international cooperation, Sridhar Babu encouraged the visiting delegation to help spread awareness among industrialists about the investment potential in Telangana. He reaffirmed the stateโ€™s readiness to collaborate with the Singapore government in areas such as technology, skill development, and more.

The Singapore delegation included Consul Vaishnavi Vasudevan, First Secretary (Economic) Vivek Raghu Raman, and Denis Tam, Regional Director (India โ€“ South) of Enterprise Singapore.

Telangana’s Gurukul Schools to Introduce Coding Lessons from 2025-2026

Hyderabad: In a major step towards digital empowerment, Telangana’s Gurukul schools will begin offering coding classes to students from Class VI through Intermediate starting in the 2025-26 academic year. The initiative will be rolled out across all 238 schools under the Telangana Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (TGSWREIS), which announced the decision on Monday.

Following a successful pilot program at a school in Moinabad, TGSWREIS decided to expand the initiative statewide. The United Kingdom-based Raspberry Pi Foundation will support the five-year rollout, and a memorandum of understanding has been signed to formalize the partnership.

Under this initiative, students will be introduced to computing as a core subject, receiving two hours of classroom instruction and two hours of project-based work each week. In its first year, approximately 1.5 lakh students are expected to participate.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation will assist in designing the curriculum, training educators, and evaluating the programโ€™s progress. The syllabus will align with international standards, covering areas such as coding, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and digital tools. Printed textbooks will be provided, and students will undergo regular assessments. Certificates will be awarded based on their performance.

Students showing exceptional interest and aptitude will be given opportunities for advanced learning. Each year, around 250 students will be selected to work on practical tech projects, which will be showcased online to attract the attention of companies seeking young talent. Promising students may be offered job placements.

Additionally, each school will designate five student mentors to support peer learning, creating a network of over 1,000 student mentors reaching nearly 90,000 learners.

To facilitate the program, TGSWREIS is upgrading school infrastructure, including the development of computer labs and installation of digital classroom equipment.

Dr. V.S. Alagu Varshini, Secretary of TGSWREIS, said the program aims to equip students with essential digital skills and prepare them for future career opportunities in the tech-driven world.

Eli Lilly Expands in India: CEO Invites Job Seekers for Hyderabad Tech Hub

Global pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly is strengthening its presence in India with a brand-new technology center in Hyderabad. Expected to be operational by mid-2025, the Hyderabad hub will be the companyโ€™s second capability center in the country, following the successful launch of its Bengaluru hub in 2016.

Hiring in Full Swing for Hyderabad Tech Hub

Eli Lillyโ€™s CEO, David Ricks, recently spoke to CNBC-TV18, confirming that recruitment is already underway for the Lilly Capability Center India (LCCI) in Hyderabad. โ€œWe also have a tech hub in Bengaluru, but we’re expanding that in Hyderabad with a new tech center. We’re out hiring now,โ€ Ricks stated, encouraging skilled professionalsโ€”especially technology engineers and data scientistsโ€”to apply.

In January, Eli Lilly announced its ambitious hiring plans, aiming to recruit between 1,000 and 1,500 professionals. India has been a key player in the companyโ€™s global research and development (R&D) operations, particularly through its Bengaluru center, which operates on a โ€œfollow the sunโ€ model. This approach allows Indian teams to seamlessly take over projects from their US counterparts overnight, ensuring continuous progress in research and accelerating drug development.

Manufacturing Plans for Blockbuster Drug Mounjaro?

Beyond technology and R&D, speculation is growing about Eli Lillyโ€™s manufacturing plans for its highly sought-after diabetes and weight-loss drug, Mounjaro (tirzepatide). When asked about the possibility of local production, Ricks remained open to the idea. โ€œThereโ€™s a lot of discussion about localizing or regionalizing supply chains, and as India grows as a market for usโ€”Mounjaro may change that. Weโ€™re open-minded about possibilities here,โ€ he said.

Eli Lilly officially launched Mounjaro in India on March 21, after its initial introduction in the US in December 2023. The drug, already available in the UK and Europe under the same name, is marketed as Zepbound in the US for obesity treatment. Touted as a game-changer in the fight against diabetes and obesity, Mounjaroโ€™s entry into the Indian market could significantly impact healthcare accessibility and treatment options.

Opportunities Await in Hyderabad

With Eli Lillyโ€™s Hyderabad tech hub on track for a mid-2025 launch and hiring in full swing, this is an exciting time for job seekers in the tech and pharma sectors. The companyโ€™s investment in India highlights its commitment to innovation, global collaboration, and cutting-edge research.

Telangana BJP Chief Kishan Reddy Urges CM Revanth Reddy to Halt Kancha Gachibowli Land Auction

Hyderabad: Telangana BJP chief and Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy has urged Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to immediately withdraw the auction process for 400 acres of government land in Kancha Gachibowli village, Serilingampally mandal.

The Telangana government, through the Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TIIC), plans to auction these land parcels as part of its resource mobilization strategy. However, Kishan Reddy has strongly opposed this move, citing serious environmental concerns.

Call for National Park Declaration

In his letter to the Chief Minister, Kishan Reddy demanded that both the 400 acres earmarked for auction and the adjacent 800 acres be considered for declaration as a national park under the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. This, he argued, would help preserve the area’s rich ecological diversity and prevent further urbanization.

Ecological and Wildlife Concerns

The minister highlighted the severe threat posed to Indian star tortoises, a species protected under Schedule IV of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. He also pointed out that the area is a biodiversity hotspot, home to 734 plant species and 220 bird species, including peacocks, migratory birds, spotted deer, four-horned antelopes, wild boars, pythons, and Indian star tortoises.

Moreover, the region features unique geological formations such as the Mushroom Rock, which has been studied and documented by experts.

Environmental Impact of Urbanization

Kishan Reddy strongly criticized the government’s plan, stating that transforming ecologically sensitive land into urban developments under the guise of resource mobilization is unacceptable. He warned that such actions could:

  • Deplete groundwater resources
  • Destroy natural habitats
  • Threaten local wildlife
  • Severely impact the city’s environment

He emphasized that although the 400-acre plot does not officially fall under the forest departmentโ€™s jurisdiction, it is surrounded by dense greenery and serves as a crucial oxygen source for Hyderabad. Converting it into a concrete jungle, he warned, would result in irreparable environmental damage.

The demand to halt the auction has garnered support from local residents, environmental activists, and students of the University of Hyderabad, who have expressed concerns over the potential ecological disaster.
