In the Indian state of Maharashtra, the city of Pune is quickly becoming a top location for outsourcing. Pune's outsourcing sector has been booming due to its close proximity to Mumbai, urban infrastructure and abundance of trained labour. Pune has earned the moniker "The Oxford of the East" thanks to its ten universities and more than 300 educational institutes. Pune is a popular destination for both domestic and international students because it contains the most schools, colleges and institutions in India. One of India's fastest-growing metropolitan centers is Pune, a cosmopolitan city that is seeing an increase in immigration from other Indian states.

Pune's huge student population has made skilled labour readily available, making it a preferred outsourcing location for foreign businesses. In order to assist new IT companies establishing a foothold in the city, the first IT parks were built in Pune in the year 2000. Since then, Pune has developed significantly and the city is now home to numerous IT parks. Some of the well-known IT parks in Pune include Magarpatta Cyber City, Marisoft IT Park, Rajiv Gandhi IT Park, MIDC Software Technology Park at Talawade, Weikfield IT Park, International Convention Center (ICC) and Kumar Cerebrum IT Park in Kalyani Nagar.
