Hyderabad – The Convention Capital of India

The capital of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, the fifth largest metropolis of India, known for its rich history and culture with monuments, mosques, temples, a rich and varied heritage in arts, crafts and dance. The city is over 400 years old and is noted for its natural beauty, mosques and minarets, bazaars and bridges, hills and lakes. It is perched on the top of the Deccan Plateau, 1776ft., above sea level, and sprawls over an area of 260 square kilometers and home to more than 6 million people. A multitude of influences have shaped the character of the city. Its palaces and buildings, houses and tenements, gardens and streets have a history and an architectural individuality of their own, which makes Hyderabad a city of enchantment. Modern day Hyderabad comprises the tricities of Hyderabad, Cyberabad (the cyber city located to its west) and Secunderabad.

Hyderabad had a humble beginning in a mud fortress built by the Kakatiyas of Warangal on the hill of Golconda, in the 11th century A.D. In the 14th century, Golconda went to the Bahamani kings. From the 15th century onwards, and till the time the province of Hyderabad was surrendered to the British Empire, Hyderabad was under the rule of different Muslim kingdoms the Qutab Shahi kings, King Aurangzeb’s empire and Nizam II of the Asaf Jahi kingdom. The city was brought into the Indian union after the country’s independence and, in 1956, it became the capital of Andhra Pradesh

The strong influence of Muslim culture and civilisation is visible in the city’s many beautiful mosques, minarets and gardens. The city is also famous for its Hyderabadi cuisine, popularised under the rule of Nizam II; its handicrafts and textiles, and its gems and jewelry, especially pearls. Hyderabad exemplifies progressive and committed governance, with the successive state governments demonstrating successful public and private partnerships in a variety of sectors. HITEC City, HITEX, Genome Valley, ICICI Knowledge Park, the Hyderabad International Convention Centre, a State of Art International Airport, and the Outer Ring Road demonstrate the state’s commitment to create world-class infrastructure. The city’s success in attracting the best companies from across the world is testimony to the arrival of Hyderabad as an important destination for technology. This has positioned Hyderabad as amongst the stronger MICE destinations in India.
