Hyderabad, May 9, 2026: Marking a new direction in Telangana’s education sector, the CogniChamp India Scholarship – Telangana 2026 program was organized in a grand manner at T-Hub with the participation of more than 1 lakh students across the state. The event was attended by the top 100 young talents selected from different regions of Telangana, along with their parents, leading academicians, industry leaders, and school representatives.

The event was graced by chief guest Jayaprakash Narayan along with Cognitive Score AI founders Keerthi Kumar Jain and Vikram Singh Negi. Speaking at the event, they emphasized that In the future world, success will not belong merely to students who score high marks, but to those who understand their natural thinking abilities and channel them in the right direction.”

Addressing the gathering, Jayaprakash Narayan said Telangana is already leading the nation in technology and innovation. Now, it should also lead in cognitive readiness. In the future, world-class companies will evaluate candidates not just by marks, but by how they think and solve problems. If Telangana can nurture such ‘future minds,’ global organizations will establish their next innovation centers here. Some children learn visually, some logically, while others display exceptional talent in creativity, communication, or analytical thinking.

However, most schools still follow a one-size-fits-all teaching method. Speakers discussed how this approach prevents many students from discovering their true potential. Speaking at the event, Cognitive Score AI founder Vikram Singh Negi stated that Telangana would emerge as a future-ready talent hub, attracting more Global Capability Centers (GCCs), and becoming a global innovation ecosystem hub. He added that the state is moving from a “Marks Economy” to a “Minds Economy.
