Explanation
Quli Qutb Shah (with typos 'kuli' and 'Kutubshah') was indeed the founder of the Qutb Shahi (also known as Golconda) dynasty in 1518 CE. He was a Turkoman governor under the Bahmani Sultanate who declared independence and established his own kingdom with Golconda (now Hyderabad) as the capital. The dynasty ruled until 1687 when it was annexed by Aurangzeb.
