They've been in HYD for some time, but HYD is fairly new in the Indian software scene.

Delhi NCR and Bangalore were tech hubs since the 1980s, hence why I'm calling Hyderabad (and Pune) new as they began sprouting in the early 2000s

Indore is becoming the next Hyderabad now as well. It's in the same position that Hyderabad was in the early 2000s.
