About Pune

Pune, the "Oxford of the East," is Maharashtra's cultural capital and India's largest education hub. The city is home to over 800 educational institutions including the prestigious Savitribai Phule Pune University, Fergusson College, and the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII). Historically, Pune was the seat of the Peshwa rulers of the Maratha Empire, and Shaniwarwada Fort remains its most iconic historical monument. Modern Pune is India's second-largest IT hub after Bangalore, with Hinjewadi IT Park housing offices of Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and multinational corporations. The city's automotive corridor includes the Chakan-Talegaon belt with plants of Tata, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Bajaj Auto.
