The Telangana Government has launched Aikam,an autonomous organisation, to promote the AI ecosystem in the State. It would promote the development of a globally competitive AI workforce through mass upskilling, accelerate AI-first startups, offer compute infrastructure, and establish a dedicated AI Fund-of-Funds.
“The organisation is aimed at positioning Telangana as a top-20 innovation hub in the world. As the world moves from AI pilots to deployment at scale, we invite global partners to establish their pilot and testing facilities in the State,” Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has said, while announcing the launch of Aikam at the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos (Switzerland).
“Aikam provides a clear execution pathway – from ideas to globally scalable solutions. Its autonomous structure, anchored within the Government of Telangana, allows us to move at speed while retaining public trust, enabling responsible AI adoption,” Telangana IT and Industries Minister D Sridhar Babu said.
He said Pearson, an education services company, was planning to set up an AI Academy, while DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) was considering setting up cross-border startup corridors.
