Pune (also known as Poona or Punyanagari) has a long history spanning 600 years, and is currently the second largest city in Maharashtra (after Mumbai) with a population of approximately four million. The language of Pune is Marathi, though English and Hindi are also widely used. Pune sits at higher altitude than Mumbai and hence offers a pleasant climate with cool evenings. In addition to a growing business community, Pune is the headquarters of the Southern Command of the Indian Army, with much land dedicated to military purposes. The city is also an educational hub, with many universities. The release of numerous graduates every year into the workforce has made Pune an attractive city for international business.
