Preparations for the Invest Telangana Global Summit have been accelerated after Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju directed officials and the event management agency to complete venue designs, infrastructure works and inter-departmental arrangements in Hyderabad. The review places Hyderabad Square at the centre of the state’s plan to create a cultural and visitor-focused public space within the summit venue.
Jaju reviewed the arrangements on Friday and instructed the event management agency to finalise the designs and layouts for the summit’s thematic sectors. These include the Startup Arena, India Joy, Telangana Pavilion and Climate Conclave. He also directed officials to complete infrastructure works in accordance with the approved plan and to finalise the overall layout at the earliest.
The event management team presented the overall site plan, venue details, stage designs and proposed arrangements during the review. Following the presentation, the Chief Secretary issued instructions to the agency on the remaining preparations. The report did not specify the summit’s dates, the size of the venue, the cost of the works or the number of expected visitors and participants.
The review covered more than the physical layout of the summit. Officials also examined venue management, arena design, invitations to prominent national and international personalities, programme planning, hospitality, logistics and expo and exhibition arrangements. These elements require coordination between multiple departments and the event management agency before the summit opens.
Jaju stressed the need for close coordination among the concerned sectoral officers to ensure seamless execution. The emphasis on inter-departmental coordination indicates that the remaining work involves both construction and operational planning, including visitor movement, hospitality, exhibitions and the management of programmed activities. No separate completion deadlines were announced in the supplied report.
Hyderabad Square is intended to function as the central attraction of the summit. Jaju said the space should be “buzzing with energy and activity” and suggested cultural programmes and other evening activities to enliven it. He also called for a classy and aesthetically appealing ambience, while asking that the venue reflect Telangana’s cultural heritage and contemporary spirit.
The preparations therefore combine investment promotion with the design of a temporary public-facing urban environment. The summit’s thematic pavilions, exhibition areas, stage arrangements and Hyderabad Square will determine how visitors experience the venue, while the quality and timing of infrastructure completion will affect the event’s operational readiness. Further details on the summit schedule, venue capacity and post-event use of the developed spaces were not provided.
The next steps are the finalisation of the site layout and thematic-sector designs, completion of infrastructure works under the approved plan, and continued coordination on venue management, programming, hospitality, logistics and exhibition arrangements.
