Telangana Partners with Analog AI to Turn Hyderabad into India’s First ‘Physical Intelligence City’

The Telangana government has announced a major partnership with Analog AI to transform Hyderabad into India’s first “Physical Intelligence City.” The initiative aims to integrate real-time, AI-enabled sensor networks into traffic systems, public safety, environmental monitoring and utility management.

The decision was finalised after Analog AI CEO Alex Kipman—globally known for creating Microsoft Kinect and leading the HoloLens project—met Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

Revanth said that Hyderabad’s massive CCTV network could be used far more effectively using AI-driven physical intelligence systems. “We can make the best use of thousands of cameras installed in the city to improve safety and liveability,” he said.

Eight-Week Pilot to Build Real-Time City Intelligence

As part of the collaboration, an eight-week pilot programme will be launched to convert the city’s existing CCTV infrastructure into a real-time operational intelligence system.

The pilot will enhance:

• Traffic management
• Emergency response and coordination
• Citizen safety
• Predictive monitoring
• Context-aware insights for city departments

According to the government, Hyderabad will have a live, fully functioning prototype of the Physical Intelligence system installed inside the Integrated Command Control Centre (ICCC) by the end of the pilot.

This move positions Hyderabad as the first Indian city to adopt Physical Intelligence at a metropolitan scale.

Tech Solutions for Urban Challenges

During the meeting, Revanth Reddy and Kipman also discussed a broader roadmap for tech-driven solutions, including:

• Predictive traffic congestion management
• Urban flooding early-warning systems
• Lake protection and water body monitoring
• Weather prediction tools
• Industrial pollution tracking in real time
• Development of Bharat Future City as a global innovation hub

Kipman emphasised that Physical Intelligence bridges AI and the real world through ultra-dense sensor networks, robotics and drone infrastructure. He expressed confidence that Telangana could become a global leader in city-scale intelligent systems.

With Hyderabad already known for its command-and-control infrastructure, the partnership is expected to significantly boost the city’s technological edge, safety standards and long-term sustainability initiatives.
