Hyderabad, India , March 5, 2023: Foxconn Chairman and  CEO Young Liu along with  Telangana IT Minister Sri KT Rama Rao inaugurated T-Works, a state of the art prototyping facility  in Hyderabad earlier this week.
The 78,000 sq ft building was unveiled in its own unique way via a spectacular curtain drop (called a kabuki drop).
Said KT Rama Rao,  “Today, we are proud to dedicate T-Works to our state and nation. T-Works has developed significant products including the ventilator, electric vehicles, and agricultural innovation in collaboration with rural innovators using the state-of-the-art equipment. This is a testament to the kind of product innovation and design thinking that is bound to happen at this world class facility.”
Young Liu added, “T-Works as a concept is incredible. With such a facility, people can do so many things. I am impressed by the speed with which this world class facility has been built. I am amazed by the kind of development that has happened in Telangana in the last 7 years.”
Phase 1 of the 78,000 square foot facility is located in a 4.79-acre campus providing over 200 industry-grade tools worth 11.5 cr. This is expected to grow by 10 times over the next 12 months.
The Chairman of Foxconn committed to partner with T-Works by donating an SMT (Surface Mount Technology) line, used for assembling high-end electronics circuit boards. 
Said Sujai Karmapuri, CEO T-Works: “T-Works is a foundational step in the scheme of an industrial revolution but a giant leap for the entrepreneurs and makers who will take us there. It’s not just the building and the equipment, it’s the know-how that comes with the 60-member strong team. Collaboration among various disciplines is the value that we bring at T-Works. T-Works today comes with equipment worth Rs 11.5 crore (US$1.3M), which will  become Rs 110 crore (US$ 13M) by end of the year. We are open to anyone and everyone who wants to make and innovate. Innovators can come from anywhere, from startups, from MSME, from large corporations, schools, colleges, rural India.”
Jayesh Ranjan, Telangana’s Principal Secretary, Industries & Commerce, Information Technology,  said: "T-Works is designed to transform ideas into reality, faster than ever before. Over 300 users from startups and corporates have built at T-Works including mainstream products. We believe that design, prototyping are the essential ingredients for building a successful manufacturing capability, and we are proud to support our startups in achieving this goal.”
