Hyderabad is a 400-year old city and the fifth largest in India. The city is known for its rich and resplendent history and its exciting confluence of cultures. The center of the old city has the graceful “Charminar” (literally, four turrets) that was built in 1591. On the outskirts of the city is Golconda Fort, a spectacular city fortress that was constructed and expanded between the 12th and 15th centuries.

The city’s old world charm, reflected in heritage forts, palaces, mosques and temples, coexists with modern technological innovation that attracts top global and domestic talent.
