15 Organisations Join Hyderabad Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Collective; Summit on November 20
The summit is expected to bring together more than 2,000 entrepreneurs and business leaders, over 120 investors, more than 80 speakers and at least 31 partners, the organisers said in a release.
It will feature investor networking, business meetings, masterclasses, leadership discussions, startup showcases, pitching sessions and exhibitions.
HEEC, launched at last year’s summit, aims to bring together organisations working across entrepreneurship, investment, industry, research, academia and business development to promote collaboration and support Hyderabad’s entrepreneurial growth.
The event coincides with Global Entrepreneurship Week, being observed from November 16 to 22, 2026, under the aegis of the Global Entrepreneurship Network.
The organisers said the alignment would help connect Hyderabad’s entrepreneurial ecosystem with global networks and opportunities.
Rajesh Pagadala, HEEC chair and co-convener of HES 2026, said the summit would provide a platform for organisations across the ecosystem to collaborate and strengthen Hyderabad’s entrepreneurial prospects.
Murali Kakarla, president of TiE Hyderabad and convener of HES 2026, said the summit would focus on three priorities — inclusion, scale and leadership — with an emphasis on helping businesses grow and strengthening the city’s position as an entrepreneurial centre.
The summit will discuss growth capital, market access, technology, talent, governance, acquisitions, global expansion and leadership capabilities required to scale businesses. The organisers said the event would seek to facilitate sustained business relationships among founders, investors, mentors, corporates and technology partners.
TiE50 and the HES Awards will recognise entrepreneurs and companies, while the programme will conclude with the Celebrating Entrepreneurship Dinner.
Ravi Chennupati, vice-president of TiE Hyderabad and co-convener of HES 2026, said the summit would connect founders at different stages with investors, markets, mentors and business leaders.
