A city of global businesses
Hyderabad has grown into one of India's leading hubs for IT services, global capability centres, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, with a fast-growing real estate market around them. Many businesses here sell to international buyers, which shapes what their marketing needs to do.
What matters for Hyderabad businesses now
- Pharma and life sciences: most countries restrict direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription medicines, with only the US and New Zealand allowing it among high-income countries (The Conversation); marketing focuses on HCPs, distributors and export buyers
- Exports: the India and UK trade agreement, in force from July 2026, cuts UK tariffs on chemicals and pharmaceuticals by up to 8% (PIB, Government of India)
- IT services: buyers shortlist vendors before speaking to them; Gartner found 67% of B2B buyers prefer a rep-free experience (Gartner, March 2026)
- Real estate: RERA registration details must appear in project advertising
What we run for Hyderabad clients
- Pharma marketing for HCP and export audiences
- IT services marketing focused on pipeline
- Real estate campaigns optimised to site visits
- Export marketing for international buyers
International buyers judge suppliers on their websites first. Specifications, certifications and case studies in clear English matter more than awards and slogans.
Telugu, Hindi and English
Consumer campaigns in Hyderabad often perform better with Telugu or bilingual creative. We test languages rather than defaulting to English.
