India's 29th state Telangana, was formed out of the previously existing state of Andhra Pradesh on June 2nd, 2014. It came into being after decades of battle by Telangana activists arguing that state resources in Andhra Pradesh are disproportionately allocated to more developed regions to the south. Risen among skepticism, India's newest baby is proving its mettle.

This insight attempts to understand why this state could open exciting avenues for investment.
