City Nagpur

Strategically located at the geographical center-point of India, Nagpur is not too far from any Indian city. The British rulers identified the exact center-point, and built the Zero Mile Stone in Nagpur to measure distances of all major Indian cities from there. Thanks to its central location, Nagpur has always been an important trading center in India. While being the largest producer of famous Nagpur orange – earning it the nickname “Orange City” – Nagpur is also an established IT hub. The city is called the “Tiger Capital of India” for being a gateway to many tiger reserves, including Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve, Bor Tiger Reserve, and Pench National Park.
Nagpur is growing fast and has recently made it to the list of 98 Indian cities nominated for the Government of India’s Smart Cities Mission. As part of the project, the central government will fund an annual Rs 100 crore for five years to upgrade the city’s infrastructure and IT connectivity. According to a recent survey by ABP News-IPSOS, Nagpur has been named the best city to live in India for its greenery, top-class healthcare, and public transport facilities. It is no wonder then that young talents from around the country flock to the city for a rewarding career opportunity.
