Telangana has set an ambitious target to take 1,000 businesses and students global by March 31, 2027, with IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu unveiling the "Explore2Expand (E2E)" initiative on Thursday.
The minister officially unveiled the logo of Explore2Expand (E2E), a new international platform aimed at enabling businesses, exporters, students, startups, and professionals to explore global opportunities and expand beyond borders. The platform will facilitate global missions, export promotion visits, student exposure programmes and international networking opportunities.
Calling it a “forward-looking initiative”, the Minister urged businesses, exporters and students to actively participate and leverage global markets.

The first E2E mission will be held in Singapore from May 21–24, marking the start of a series of international engagements.
The initiative aims to boost exports, foster entrepreneurship and strengthen Telangana’s vision of becoming a Trillion-dollar economy.
