A Key Contributor Of Growth
A term metropolitan is used to refer to an urban area, which is densely populated and has a high scale of social and economic activities. Pune is the 4th largest metropolitan city in India in terms of population and is one of the fastest developing cities in the Asia-Pacific region, owing to its industrialization. Hinjawadi has grown into one of the key industrial areas in Maharashtra.

There are more than 110 companies in the area employing more than 1,50,000 people.
Hinjawadi hosts three types of industries – IT, biotechnology, and manufacturing. Of the three, the IT companies occupy 85%, whereas biotechnology and manufacturing firms occupy 5% and 10% of the total area. Going by trends such as increasing dependence on digitalization across all sectors, NASSCOM reports that the IT industry will grow by 12-14% every year. HIA expects at least 15% raise every year through the creation of jobs in Hinjawadi.
