Kavitha Kalvakuntla has raised serious questions about the credibility of several high-value MoUs announced by the Congress government in Telangana. She pointed out that many companies linked to these investment claims lack basic verification details.
Telangana MoUs: Thousands of Crores in Claims, but where is the Digital Footprint of the Companies?
The Telangana Congress government has recently dominated headlines with news of massive foreign direct investments and Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) totaling thousands of crores. However, an independent technical audit by the itrendspot Policy Lab has uncovered a startling reality: many of the companies projected as “global giants” appear to have no verifiable digital presence.
The “Ghost Company” Red Flag: No Website, No Credibility
During a recent press briefing, Kavitha Kalvakuntla raised a critical question that has resonated with the technical community: How can a company capable of investing ₹50,000 crores not have a basic functional website?
In the 2026 global business environment, a website is not just a marketing tool; it is a Technical Identity. Our audit of 12 recent MoU partners revealed:
- Missing DNS Records: Several entities have no registered professional domain.
- Lack of Financial History: These “investors” have zero visible business profiles on global platforms like Bloomberg or LinkedIn.
- Verification Gaps: There is no public record of their previous large-scale industrial operations in other states or countries.
Are These “Paper MoUs”? The Missing Verification
Without clear company profiles, financial disclosures, or verified project updates, these MoUs risk being categorized as “Paper Investments.” Transparency is the backbone of public trust, and for a state like Telangana—which has historically been a tech hub—the lack of basic due diligence is concerning.
- Ursa Clusters Case: As highlighted by researchers, this company reportedly signed an MoU for ₹500 crores before it was even fully registered as a corporate entity.
- Trump Media Tech: Claims of a ₹1 Lakh Crore investment were met with skepticism after data showed the firm’s total global market value was significantly lower than the proposed Telangana investment.
Why Transparency is the Real Investment
Analysts warn that misleading investment claims can damage a state’s long-term economic credibility. To restore trust, the government must release a White Paper detailing:
- The physical location of these companies’ global headquarters.
- Their audited financial statements for the last three years.
- The exact technical roadmap for job generation in Hyderabad and rural Telangana.

Big Investment Claims, Little Public Information
Kavitha Kalvakuntla stated that several companies projected as major investors do not have official websites or publicly available business profiles. According to her, this raises doubts about how such companies can commit investments worth thousands of crores.
She questioned whether the government verified these companies before announcing the MoUs.
No Digital Footprint, Big Claims
Several companies linked to these MoUs reportedly lack a basic digital presence, including official websites or publicly available business information.
Experts say that in today’s business environment, the absence of such details raises legitimate concerns.
Are These MoUs Only on Paper?
Missing Verification
Without clear company profiles, financial disclosures, or project updates, critics argue that these MoUs may exist only on paper rather than as real investments.
This has led to growing demands for verification and independent audits of the announced deals.
Why Transparency Matters
Transparency is critical not only for public trust but also for attracting genuine investors. Misleading claims, analysts warn, can harm a state’s long-term economic credibility.
