Shinde Nagar is a residential locality situated in the heart of Hinjawadi, Pune. Hinjawadi is primarily known as a major IT hub in India, housing the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park. As a result, Shinde Nagar is predominantly populated by working professionals employed in the IT sector and related industries. It offers a mix of housing options, from apartments and independent houses to chawls and more budget-friendly accommodations. It's a relatively older part of Hinjawadi, predating much of the recent IT boom, giving it a different feel compared to some of the more modern, planned residential areas nearby.
