GTM Unbound Expands to Hyderabad, Bringing Together 200 AI Founders and Investors

VMPL
New Delhi [India], February 11: On January 22 and 23, Hyderabad's startup ecosystem came together across two thoughtfully curated gatherings that highlighted the collective strength of the city's entrepreneurial community. Hosted by GTM Unbound in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), FinStackk, Efficient Capital Labs (ECL), Sorin Investments and Dallas Venture Capital, the two day initiative brought together over 200 founders and investors across complementary formats.

Hyderabad has steadily emerged as a city where ambitious AI founders are building for scale with global intent and these events reflected that momentum. The partners involved represented critical pillars of the startup journey, spanning capital, revenue infrastructure and cloud enablement. Together, they created a platform that felt grounded in real founder needs rather than surface level networking.
The first evening, held on January 22, opened with an engaging conversation featuring Chaitanya Peddi, Co-founder at Darwinbox. His reflections on building global SaaS and AI companies from India resonated deeply with the audience, many of whom were navigating similar challenges of scale, culture and long term vision. The conversation set an honest tone, which naturally carried into the curated mixer that followed. Founders exchanged perspectives on growth, hiring and product decisions in an environment that encouraged openness and thoughtful dialogue.

The gathering on January 23 extended these conversations in a more focused setting, allowing founders to engage deeply on topics around capital efficiency, go to market strategy and sustainable growth. With partners like FinStackk and Efficient Capital Labs and in the room, discussions around financing and revenue based models felt practical and grounded. AWS added further depth, reflecting the ecosystem's growing emphasis on strong infrastructure and scalable systems from early stages.
Across both days, the events underscored a defining trait of Hyderabad's startup community: a willingness to learn from one another and build collaboratively. Founders at different stages shared experiences freely, creating a space where ambition was matched by humility and mutual respect.
By the end of the two days, what stood out was not just the scale of participation, but the sense of alignment between founders and ecosystem partners. GTM Unbound and its collaborators succeeded in creating a platform that felt intentional and founder first, reinforcing Hyderabad's position as a city where meaningful companies are being built through shared knowledge and strong community ties.
As GTM Unbound looks ahead to the first quarter, this momentum continues beyond Hyderabad. The platform is set to expand its presence into the Middle East and Singapore, while also bringing its AI founder gatherings to ten cities across India, deepening its commitment to building founder-first ecosystems across geographies.
