Hyderabad, which is almost 500 years old, is the capital city of Andhra Pradesh. It is situated on the Deccan Stage. The town has a typical elevation of about 500 m above the sea level. Most of the areas have rocky terrain. Initially, the city of Hyderabad was established on the southern banks of the river Musi. Now, the so-called unique Hyderabad city is known as the historical Old City.

The Old City is the residing to the Charminar and the Mecca Masjid. Many constructions – government buildings and landmarks – are going on in the town center, particularly on the southern side of the Husain Sagar Lake. The fast development of the city, along with the development of adjoining city Secunderabad and adjacent municipalities, has resulted in the creation of a huge and densely populated metropolitan region. With various software companies, telemarketer companies, and business process freelancing (BPO) organizations being set up during the early 1990's, Hyderabad has become one of the key areas for such technology (IT) and IT-enabled service set-ups. Many drug organizations like Aurobindo Pharma Limited, Divis Labs, Dr Reddy's Labs, Hetero Drugs Limited, Matrix Laboratories, and Vimta Labs are located in the city.
