Pimple Saudagar is a suburb in Pune, India. Situated 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from Chinchwad and centered in between the suburbs of Baner and Aundh, the locality is a developing residential area that attracts the newer population of the city. Its proximity to the Rajiv Gandhi InfoTech Park located at Hinjewadi makes it a residential hub for people working in the Information Technology industry.
History
Pimpale Saudagar was earlier an underdeveloped area. From the late 1990s, the area grew to catch up with the vast industrialization and expansion of the Pune city.[1] In 2001, the area was connected to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway by the Dehu Road–Katraj bypass. The introduction of IT Park near Hinjewadi in 2003 sparked a tremendous real estate growth in the region favored by IT professionals.[2] and it has become a golden crown of Pimpri-Chinchwad having high life standard.

The Pavana River cutting through the northern areas of the locality is the major source of water, however water shortage is being experienced in the recent years due to the expanding population and water usage.[3] The suburbs bordering Pimpale Saudagar are Hinjewadi to the west, Aundh to the south and Sangvi to the east. Pimpale Saudagar has the same climate of Pune city.
