The Hindu··23 Aug
On 22 August 2026, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy met University of Cambridge academics in London and invited the university to partner with Telangana on a Hyderabad knowledge hub. Professors Jaideep Prabhu and Venkata Serish Gandikota of Cambridge Judge Business School said they were interested. Both sides agreed to work out a framework for education, research and start-up incubation.

What It Means For You
- If you hope to study a University of London programme in Hyderabad, the Senate House meeting is the first public statement that a campus is being worked on.
- Anyone watching Cambridge Judge Business School should note the two professors named were Prabhu and Gandikota, and that the deal is still only a framework.
- If you are a Telangana student looking at Oxford executive courses, that invite was made on 21 August, a day before the Cambridge meeting.
What's Happening
- The Chief Minister described the Cambridge meeting as fruitful and said Hyderabad was being offered as a site for global institutions.
- University of London, including LSE and SOAS, discussed a range of programmes for Telangana students at the round table.
- A Liverpool civic and football club team said it may visit Hyderabad in October to talk about a wider partnership.
What A UK Campus Talk Means For Students
- These London meetings are academic outreach; they are separate from the later Centre decision on the Chief Minister's United States leg.
- No fee, seat or regulatory filing was published with the invitation to Cambridge.
- Telangana Rising is the State brand used for the education and investment pitch on this tour.
