It has one of India's oldest universities and its numerous colleges attract both Indian and international students, which is probably why it is called the Oxford of the East. Pune is a cosmopolitan city and is now an important commercial centre.
Pune has a temperate climate and is among the greenest urban areas in the country.
Pune is one of the premier industrial centers of India. It is home to one of the world's three largest two-wheeler manufacturers. Other global automobile companies (US & GERMAN) also have huge manufacturing facilities here. Apart from the auto giants, a large number of engineering, electronic and electrical industries have set up base in the large, medium and small scale sectors. The industrial township of Pimpri Chinchwad, adjacent to the main city, is dotted with over 4,000 manufacturing units. This vast and well established industrial base has imbibed the city with a 'professional' ethos and work culture.
