Hinjewadi or Hinjawadi or Hinjwadi (Marathi: हिंजवडी) was a small village on the NH4 bypass around the city of Pune in India. It is now the location of Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, housing around twenty software companies as listed below.
A completely rural locale until the construction of the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, two phases have been completed amidst rapid urbanization of surrounding areas. The third phase of the infotech park is under construction, with further phases planned. Hinjawadi is the second most upcoming town in Maharashtra state[citation needed].
The place name is often misspelled as "Hinjewadi" and mis-pronounced as हिंजेवाडी. Correct name of the place is 'Hinjawadi', pronounced as 'हिंजवडी' in Marathi/Hindi.
The technology park at Hinjawadi houses many software companies. Some of them are: IBM India, AtoS, Synechron, Mahindra Engineering (located at the remotest corner of phase 2), Idea Cellular, KPIT Cummins, Tata Technologies, Infosys, Wipro, Credit Suisse (located inside Wipro), Tata Consultancy Services, Geometric Limited, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Persistent Systems (under construction), Honeywell, Mindtree, 3DPLM Software Solutions, CECsoft, Compulink, Pesh-Infotech and Digital Group InfoTech. It also houses product companies such as Compulink and CISCO. SCMHRD is also housed in Hinjewadi Phase 1.
Phase 1 & 2 of the Hinjawadi IT Park are completed. Currently, phase 3 is under construction. In future time there are plans for phase 4 and the MIDC has earmarked an area for biotech firms. A few, like Emcure and Eclerx, are already present in phase 2. Due to rapid development, Hinjewadi is facing serious traffic problems during peak hours. From 8.30 AM to 11:30 AM, HMVs (Heavy Motor Vehicles) are not allowed to enter the area due to congestion on the roads. About 3-5 Lac workers travel daily to and from the IT park. The traffic problem is getting worse day by day.
The very famous college Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development of Symbiosis International University is located in Phase 1 of Hinjawadi.
Due to rapid developments in and around Hinjawadi, property prices have skyrocketed. With political blessings, real estate companies like Paranjape, Kumar Properties have already begun construction in this area. Hinjewadi is growing area for commercial and residential.
