Historically known as the cultural capital of Maharashtra, Pune seamlessly blends a majestic royal heritage with a vibrant, modern global outlook. Nestled amidst the scenic Sahyadri hills, Pune was the seat of the historic Maratha Empire and has evolved today into one of India’s premier academic, economic, and technological hubs.
· The Oxford of the East: Renowned for its world-class universities, prestigious research institutes, and a legacy of academic excellence, Pune attracts a diverse student community from across the globe.
· A Thriving Corporate & Tech Hub: Beyond academia, Pune is a powerhouse of economic growth, housing major Information Technology (IT) parks, automotive manufacturing giants, and a booming startup ecosystem—making it the ideal backdrop for a conference focused on Business Unusual.
· Pleasant Climate & Tourism: In late November, Pune offers exceptionally pleasant, cool weather. Delegates can explore iconic historical landmarks such as the grand Aga Khan Palace (deeply tied to India’s freedom struggle), the majestic Shaniwar Wada fortress, and the serene Sahyadri hill stations located just a short drive away.
