Pune is one of the fastest growing cities in India. It has many nicknames such as "Queen of the Deccan," "Pensioners’ Paradise," "Detroit’s of India" and "IT Capital of Maharashtra." The city has emerged as the most vibrant new metropolitan center in Western India. It is known for having several esteemed colleges and educational institutions, a reason why it is also called "Oxford of the East." It is also home to many software and information technology companies.

A city in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, Pune is the eighth largest city in India with a population of 4.5 million, and the second largest in the state of Maharashtra. It is 160 Kilometers (about 100 miles) east of Mumbai -- a three-hour drive on the spectacular Mumbai-Pune Expressway.

"Pune, being the sixth largest metropolitan economy with the highest per capita income in India, is a vibrant cultural city with people from multiple religions speaking different regional languages," says Sharma. "The city’s continuous growth and influx of investments by software and automobile companies, has also resulted in a large influx of skilled laborers from all over India.”

Among its more than 200 offices worldwide, Crown has 11 Indian branches in the cities of Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Ludhiana, Vadodara, Nashik and Vishakhapatnam.
