BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao on Wednesday, 17 June 2026, inaugurated the new facility of technology firm Ozrit at Gachibowli, Hyderabad, marking another addition to the city's expanding IT corridor. Rama Rao met the company's leadership and interacted with its workforce during the event.

Context

Posting on X, Rama Rao said he was 'happy to inaugurate Ozrit's new facility in Gachibowli today' and held discussions with Founder and CEO Bharath Gupta and Co-Founder and COO Vivekanand Reddy. He added that it 'filled my heart to hear that the company was inspired by Telangana's technology-driven growth over the last decade.'

Gachibowli has evolved into one of Hyderabad's most prominent IT destinations, hosting software firms, R&D centres and a growing cohort of product-focused startups. The corridor's expansion has been a central feature of the city's post-2014 economic identity.

Policy backdrop

Telangana was carved out as a separate state in 2014, and successive governments made technology and innovation central to industrial policy. Incentive frameworks, land allocation and skill development programmes were deployed to draw IT companies to Hyderabad, extending the earlier HITEC City cluster into surrounding zones including Gachibowli.

Rama Rao, as former Minister for IT, Industries and Municipal Administration, was closely associated with that policy push. His presence at Ozrit's inauguration reflects the continued role he plays in positioning himself — and the BRS — as architects of the state's technology narrative, even from the opposition benches.

Stakeholders and impact

For Ozrit, the inauguration signals a formal expansion of its physical presence in a competitive but well-resourced technology district. The company's founders credited Telangana's decade-long technology policy environment as a motivating factor, a framing that aligns with the ecosystem-building argument successive state administrations have made to attract investment.

IT professionals, startups and investors operating in the Gachibowli corridor stand to benefit from each incremental addition to the cluster, which deepens talent density and supply-chain networks in the area.

What's next

Facility inaugurations of this kind often precede announcements on hiring targets or product milestones. Observers will watch whether Ozrit follows up with employment or expansion disclosures, and whether the event catalyses similar announcements from other startups in the same corridor. The broader question is how the current state government responds to opposition-led ecosystem messaging with its own investment pipeline.
