T-Works to help people leverage hardware machinery, do wonders with prototyping: KTR

HYDERABAD: Telangana IT and Industries Minister K T Rama Rao, one day ahead of the inauguration of India’s largest prototyping centre T-Works, said that the facility would provide all the necessary hardware equipment which would be needed to give shape to any idea and develop any kind of product.

KTR said that T-Works, like other centres of innovation in Hyderabad like T-Hub, WE-Hub etc, would create wonders and enable the youths to turn their dreams into reality. “Necessity is the mother of invention,” he said, stating the example of a girl who made a pulley to transport heavy gas cylinders to the upper floors of her house. He also gave examples of companies like Skyroot, who prototyped game-changing hardware in T-Works.

“The Telangana Government wants to promote the culture of design-thinking. Hardware can bring change in the society and we at T-Works make it easier to develop such hardware prototypes. Everything at T-Works too, the tables, the mics, the stage outside, was all made here. EV Mobility solutions, drone tech, agricultural equipment, medical equipment like artificial limbs, electronics and so much more can be created here,” KTR said.

The IT Minister also said that a satellite centre of T-Works would be set up in IT parks being developed in various parts of the State like Mahbubnagar, Nizamabad, Khammam, Karimnagar and Siddipet.

CEO of T-Works Sujai Karampuri, who was extremely proud and delighted about the opening of T-Works, said, “All types of material can be made here. Be it 3D printing, metal work, welding, metrology, wood work, acrylic, plastic, ceramic or any material, we facilitate working with that. Previously, developing something could take one or two years. However, here it would only take about one to two months. Everything is available under one roof.”
