Pune, the historic land of the Peshwas, has had a traditional old-economic base. In fact, most of the old industries continue to grow here. Economic activities hold the forefront in Pune in the present scenario. The city is known for its manufacturing and automobile industries, as an information technology (IT) hub, as well as a centre for learning. It has leading institutes focused on IT, education, management and training, which attract professionals from India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa..

Pune is recognised among the top evolving business centres and nine emerging cities around the world. It is now also a new start-up hub in India. Pune is the largest hub in India for German companies. It has flourishing industrial estates in and around, which include Chakan, Sanaswadi, Ranjangaon, Talegaon, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Hinjewadi, Pirangut, Hadapsar, Hingewadi, Jejuri, Kharadi, Talawade, Shirwal and Uruli Kanchan. Pune can thus be seen as a centre of extensive economic activity, both old and new, spread across trade, commerce, manufacturing as well as services. And the city's proximity to the financial capital, Mumbai, only adds to its entrepreneurial and industrial ecosystem.
