Pune a town of history, culture and education.

During our stay in India, we had a lot to organize. One of my important work meetings had been postponed several times, but this time, I needed to ensure it happened. The meeting was in Pune, a major hub for the IT sector today. Pune is a historical city where the foundation of the Maratha Empire was established. It has witnessed numerous consultations against foreign invasions, as well as battles fought with swords and daggers. This is where Maratha history began.

During the British occupation, Pune became a center for literature, education, and art, which has become a point of pride for all of India. The city is home to many educational institutions across various fields, including art, science, commerce, engineering, medicine, research, and, of course, the international IT sector. As a result, Pune has become a bustling city in Maharashtra.

Several years ago, I had an extended stay related to my education, but now everything has changed. After my work was complete, I wanted to visit the older part of Pune, known as Shaniwar Peth, which is rich in history. This area includes notable sites such as Shaniwar Wada, Lal Mahal, the Peshwa temples, Kasaba Ganpati, Dagdushet Ganapati, and many old buildings, along with a very crowded business street called Mandai.

In contrast to this historical area, the IT centers are more organized, neat, and well-planned, featuring modern roads, infrastructure, and transport systems. We were in the IT area and began our trip from Hinjawadi, an IT hub in modern Pune.
