A 200-seat technology and product development facility ‘Nexus Innovation Hub’ was commissioned in Andhra Pradesh’s coastal district of Nellore on Friday (July 3, 2026), kickstarting the process of migrating technology companies to the Tier II cities.Touted to be State’s first multi-company innovation park, the hub is already home to 120 technology professionals building AI-powered products for global markets.Nellore MP Vemireddy Prabhakar Reddy formally inaugurated the hub, along with Kovur MLA and TDP Polit Bureau member Vemireddy Prashanthi Reddy, Andhra Pradesh Waqf Board Chairman Shaik Abdul Aziz, and city Mayor D. Sujatha. The MP stressed the need for technology firms to look inward toward the hinterland and identify talent available in the vicinity. “Ten years from now, the students of tier-II cities should not be compelled to leave their homeland for the sake of their careers,” he noted.Speaking at the inaugural event, Renil Komitla, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Terralogic Solutions Inc., recalled his promise made at the launch of Blazeup.ai in November 2025 to bring at least 100 technology jobs to the city. A native of Nellore, he moved to the USA in 1998 and founded Paxterra Solutions in San Jose, California, which later became Terralogic and evolved into a global firm with 1,300 employees across five countries over the next fifteen years.“What began as a single Terralogic office in 2022 in Nellore has now grown into a hub of companies spanning enterprise software, cybersecurity, educational technology, healthcare, design, and marketing, staffed almost entirely by the local talent pool,” he said. The hub is designed to reach its full capacity of 200 in the next six months.As more start-ups join the ecosystem in Nellore, the broader goal of 1,000 technology jobs will be achieved within two years, he hoped.Prominent among the companies at the hub are: Blazeup.ai, an AI-powered platform for enterprise operations; FlyView.ai, a unified cybersecurity and AI-governance platform; Smartail.ai, a platform that automates handwritten student assessments and identifies learning gaps; Vietnam-based ‘DXP Technologies’, a platform for early detection of cancer in clinical settings; Lollypop design studio that serves enterprise clients across fifteen countries; Caramelo Studio, a marketing technology company that brings strategy and content creation together.
