Pune is a city that has accumulated intrinsic value of historical, cultural, social and political significance over the years. Wrapped in the traditional colors of Maharashtra that imbibe the spirit of Shivaji Maharaj and the Peshwas, it is a custom to welcome people from varied communities creating a harmonious space. As aptly called the “Queen of Deccan”, the scenic green landscape that encapsulates the city is simply exquisite.

With the initiation of the IT hub in Pune, the landscape started evolving into a commercial property that integrated the corporate sector and a residential zone for a healthy work-life balance for the working crowd.

To assimilate a streamlined operation, Pune Municipal Corporation PMC had designed a structured plan for developing the circumference around the commercial hubs into high functioning suburbs. Within a few decades, several suburbs emerged that accommodated working professionals, families, retired folks, locals, and students from other cities.

Kharadi is one such suburb situated in the Eastern Metropolitan Corridor of Pune, that also hosts several IT/ITeS hubs. This self-sufficient suburb is bordered by Pune Airport in the North, Mundhwa in the South, Wadgaon Sheri in the west, and Awhalwadi in the east.
