Hyderabad, 6th October 2025 – The Government of Telangana, in collaboration with global healthcare and lifescience consulting firm Healthark, unveiled a first-of-its-kind coffee table book titled “India’s Life Sciences Renaissance: The Hyderabad GCC Opportunity.” This visually compelling book offers a sweeping chronicle of India’s journey in life sciences and healthcare, with a focused lens on how Hyderabad is evolving as a global hub for innovation-driven Global Capability Centers (GCCs).
The book was officially launched by Shri Anumula Revanth Reddy, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Government of Telangana and Shri D. Sridhar Babu, Hon’ble Minister for IT, Electronics & Communications, Industries & Commerce, Government of Telangana. The launch event was graced by the presence of several senior dignitaries including Sri Sanjay Kumar IAS, Special Chief Secretary for ITE&C; Sri B Ajith Reddy Special Secretary to the Hon.

The coffee table book traces the evolution of Life Sciences and Healthcare GCCs (LSHC GCCs) in India, beginning in the early 2000s with a focus on cost efficiency and back-office support, through their transformation into high-value strategic hubs that now anchor global R&D, digital innovation, and enterprise leadership. Today, Hyderabad stands as a beacon of this transformation with over 2,000 life sciences companies, contributing to one-third of the world’s vaccine production, and housing 250+ USFDA-approved sites, the highest concentration globally.
Conceptualized by the HealthArk in collaboration with the Government, the book features success stories, leadership insights, and sectoral contributions of over 10+ global organizations that have chosen Hyderabad as their strategic base.
