Located in Maharashtra, Nashik is expanding its economic canvas. The city is attracting a growing number of data and IT companies, signalling its emergence as a tech-friendly destination.

The MSME ecosystem, along with road connectivity, is making it an attractive destination for professionals and businesses alike, states the report.
Merging its rich heritage with ambitious modernisation, Agra—famously known as the City of the Taj—is witnessing a shift through the expansive 12,000-hectare New Agra project. With manufacturing clusters, the initiative is fueling economic expansion and creating a wave of employment opportunities across the region, as mentioned in LinkedIn's report.
Renowned as the Temple City of India, this southern Tamil Nadu hub is rapidly advancing its infrastructure with state-of-the-art facilities. These developments are drawing increased interest from industry leaders—especially in the technology and agriculture sectors—who are establishing a firm presence in the region, mentions the report.
Vadodara is undergoing a wave of development through numerous construction initiatives. The growth is evident in sectors such as urban infrastructure, healthcare, housing, and transportation, marking a significant shift in the city's economic and structural landscape.
Known for its heritage and vibrant culture, Jodhpur is becoming a magnet for young professionals seeking affordable living and a tight-knit community vibe. The rise of decentralised job opportunities, expanding startup ecosystem, and the arrival of major corporate players like Genpact are fueling its transformation.
India's next chapter of economic growth is being written not just in boardrooms and metro skylines, but in its emerging cities—each with its own identity, ambition, and strategic edge. It seems that the future of work is no longer confined to traditional hotspots.

After completing class 12, most students try to crack competitive exams like IIT-JEE, CAT, etc, to secure a seat in the prestigious colleges and universities, like IITs and IIMs. It is commonly believed that graduating from a prestigious college guarantees a job in the top companies across the globe, like Google, Microsoft, or Amazon. But does not having a degree from such colleges mean you can't work in top multinational companies? Certainly No. With hard work, commitment, and the right mindset, success can be achieved – regardless of your background. And the inspiring journey of Arnabi Mitra is proof. She did not come from an expensive school or a prestigious institute like IIT. Yet through sheer determination, she has successfully achieved a career milestone that many aspire to.

As per her LinkedIn profile, Arnabi studied up to Class 10 at St. Margaret's School and completed her Class 11 and 12 at Bethune School.

Coimbatore is silently and consistently growing A tweet posted by a US-based self-described policy and geopolitical strategist, who compared Coimbatore to the Denver‑Boulder region, praising its innovation corridors and monsoon breezes through the Palakkad Gap. He wrote, 'The world is sleeping in Coimbatore. While everyone's chasing hype in Bengaluru , Chennai, and Hyderabad, Coimbatore is quietly building factories, startups, talent. Sometimes the places no one talks about are the ones that matter most'. The comparison got a flurry of responses celebrating Coimbatore as a self‑made city with industrial strength. One user said, 'Noticed or unnoticed, Coimbatore is a steady performer.' Another added 'Self‑made city.' Another user commented about the weather of the city, 'thanks to the Palakkad pass and Western Ghats, Coimbatore enjoys a Bangalore‑like climate‑with less traffic.' The tweet evolved into a conversation about overlooked yet steady performance outside metro hubs. India's growth narrative is shifting from metro‑centricism to include Tier‑2 and Tier‑3 cities. Cutting across comments was a sense that Coimbatore embodied this shift, aided by private enterprise, affordable living, and emerging talent pools.
