Hyderabad was ruled by a dynasty of Nizams for more than six hundred years. Therefore, the city’s brilliant Muslim architecture along with its inclinations towards Mughal culture and delectable cuisine can be easily explained. Fondly called the City of Pearls, Hyderabad has three types of people who call the city home. First is the Muslim community that is generally centred in the Old city. Next is the Telugu speaking section and finally the immigrants who have flocked to the city in large numbers due to Hyderabad developing as a booming IT hub. Naturally, this mixed population will have variegated advertising needs and in different languages.
