Capital, AI disruptions major challenges facing startups: TiE Hyderabad president

Hyderabad, Nov 10 (UNI) Access to capital and rapid technological disruptions, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI), are the two major challenges facing startups globally, TiE Hyderabad president and Hyderabad Entrepreneurship Summit (HES) 2026 convener Murali Kakarla said on Tuesday.
Frequent changes in AI models and technologies were creating uncertainty among startups, while investors were becoming cautious about committing funds amid rapid technological disruptions, he said.
Capital was flowing into sectors where there was greater clarity on technology and business prospects, while funding decisions in uncertain areas were being delayed, he added.
Events such as the TiE Global Summit and Invest Telangana would provide startups opportunities to understand emerging trends, interact with investors and explore global markets, Kakarla said.
Referring to the Telangana government's Invest Telangana initiative scheduled for December, he said it would help position the state as a major investment and growth destination. Telangana was targeting a USD one trillion economy by 2036 and a USD three trillion economy by 2047. He called upon the TiE Hyderabad ecosystem to participate in the initiative and support the state's growth.
The TiE Global Summit, the organisation's annual international event, would be held in Indore from December 13 to 15, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors and mentors from across the world to promote entrepreneurship and facilitate business networking.
The summit would also feature TGS 100, identifying 100 promising companies globally, he said.
Kakarla said the Hyderabad Entrepreneurship Summit (HES), scheduled for November 20, was being organised by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs and would focus exclusively on startups.
The event would feature themes including space technology, sports technology and artificial intelligence.
Highlighting two major attractions of HES 2026, he said a special panel would deliberate on the physical applications of AI and emerging developments beyond conventional digital applications.
Another key focus would be Hyderabad's space technology ecosystem, which had capabilities spanning launch vehicle technology, satellite development, satellite maintenance and ground-based applications.
The summit would showcase Hyderabad's comprehensive space technology capabilities and provide a platform for startups to explore opportunities in these emerging sectors, he added.
