Hyderabad aims to become a leader in app design, according to Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu. Speaking at the 21st International Conference on User Experience & Product Design, or UX India 25, he stated that the city can adopt any technology and lead in innovation. He believes design should be more than just looks; it should drive social change.

Design is crucial in the state’s “AI Innovation Hub” project. The Minister explained that creativity and user-friendliness are key to successful apps and websites. He urged viewing AI challenges as opportunities and confirmed the government’s dedication to supporting startups with fresh ideas.
