Pune has been Mumbai’s satellite town for decades. But it looks like it has come of age for entrepreneurs. With an efficient startup ecosystem evolving, Pune is rising in health tech, SAAS, automobile, etc., although it lags behind the metros in terms of food tech and e-commerce.

Pune has a lot of ex-enterprise resources in products and services, as well as a rich pool of tech developers, product managers, and software managers. India’s largest education hub, Pune boasts of Symbiosis University, Bharati Vidyapeeth, Maharashtra Institute of Technology, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, among others.
