Over the last few decades, Pune has come into its own by becoming a hub for sunrise sectors such as automobile, R&D, and IT/ITeS to name a few. This naturally attracted an influx of people from different parts of the country who moved to Pune for career prospects and eventually made it their home. The need to providea burgeoning population of young, upwardly mobile professionals led to massive residential and commercial real estate development that has given the city a global facelift.In fact, Pune ranked second in the ‘Ease of Living Index 2020’ amongst 111 most liveable cities as declared by the central government. Most recently, Pune also made headlines with the Serum Institute of India developing Covishield, India’s very own vaccine against COVID-19.
