Due to a massive employment market, a large volume of professionals have been moving to the city in search of better career opportunities in the IT, technology & start-up space.
This has accounted for the rise of new residential hubs. This in turn has stimulated civic as well as social infrastructures to cater to the rising demand of residents.
