The city of Pune emerged as a hot retail

The city of Pune has emerged as a hot retail hub with a metropolitan outlook. The city is not only a centre for education but also hosts a gamut of multinational companies. The business growth of Pune brought about a certain demographic change which is writ large on the city’s retail landscape. So, while the traditional Peth area in the central part of Pune continues to be a highly popular place for wholesale and retail business, many other parts of the city, in particular the eastern and northern sides, arc dotted with high-end retail outlets. The first mall showcasing international brands opened in the Koregaon Park in Pune in 2009. In the five intervening years, modern retail and showrooms have simply exploded on the scene.
