Pune was greener, much cooler and a lot less populated those days. We would spend the weekend here. Eat at Kayanis and pack bags full of Shrewsbury biscuits to take them back home.

It used to be a city but a village at the same time, in terms of people, social relationships and it was a small community. You knew everybody, and everybody knew you. It has grown exponentially and it’s a good thing. The startup ecosystem and culture here in Pune is amazing. The industrial culture has always been great.The city is growing leaps and bounds.
