Hyderabad

Hyderabad is the capital of southern India's Telangana state. A major center for the technology industry which has only Microsoft site outside Seattle & major Amazon site, it's home to many upscale restaurants and shops. Its historic sites include Golconda Fort, a former diamond-trading center that was once the Qutb Shahi dynastic capital & part of Hindu Chalukyan empire before that. The Charminar, a 16th-century mosque whose 4 arches support towering minarets, is an old city landmark near the long-standing Laad Bazaar.

Iconic Charminar built during Qutub Shahi rule (turkoman tribe from Hamadan Iran) (1518 to 1687 CE)

What do we know about the genetics of the various demographics native to the city? I work with a bunch of people from Hyderabad, most or all of them are Muslims, and they look completely South Asian (all or mostly acculturated? I believe that's what people say about Muslims in this region, anyway).

Great , I love south India , South Indians have really provided backbone to silicon valley which is one of greatest phenomena of modern age. We have hyderabad origin people in Pakistan , lot of Muhajirs have elite hyderabadi muslim origins.

You should look at a video of AIMIM (famous muslim party) where most top people are Turanis mixed with Indians
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuIlk-q52RQ

On the rule of thumb you will find

Turanis (Turkish soldiers from Central Asia & earlier Slave dynasty soldiers from Iran)
Iranis (Iranian nobles who migrated to India to work in the Court)
Converted Indian soldiers
Arab ancestry preachers & famous leaders
