Chennai

With a population of over 4 million, Chennai, the capital of the State of Tamil Nadu, is fast becoming the “Detroit of India,” with manufacturing outside the city for both the local Indian and export markets. A number of large telecommunications companies also have manufacturing facilities just outside Chennai, as do many IT and IT Enabled Service (ITES) companies.

Chennai has a good and growing medical infrastructure and new hospitals are being planned, creating opportunities for medical equipment and technology sales. Other promising sectors include chemicals, petrochemical processing, pharmaceuticals, education, entertainment, financial services, food processing, renewable energy, safety and security, and environmental technologies. Chennai has a well-developed major port and an international airport.
