He noted that Telangana is not only leading in med-tech and health-tech GCCs but is also pioneering new categories such as beauty-tech, creating fresh opportunities for international companies. Several global firms, including Vanguard, Netflix, McDonald’s, Heineken, Jaggaer, and Costco Wholesale, have recently chosen Hyderabad for their GCC operations, while hospitality majors like Marriott are expanding their presence in the state.
During the meeting, the delegation also presented details about the newly launched Telangana AI Innovation Hub (TAIH), which drew keen interest from L’Oréal’s CEO.
Additionally, Special Chief Secretary of ITE&C and Industries, Sanjay Kumar, invited L’Oréal to explore setting up a manufacturing unit in Hyderabad in the future. Hieronimus responded positively, signaling interest in potential manufacturing investments alongside the GCC.
This move further cements Hyderabad’s reputation as a leading global destination for innovation, technology-driven enterprise operations, and high-value investments in emerging sectors like beauty-tech.
