TCEI was formally launched by Telangana IT and Panchayat Minister K T Rama Rao, according to a release from the organisers.

The events industry in Telangana is estimated to be around Rs 300 crore, the release said, adding that the industry's request for a single-window clearance for their events is being accepted.
