01 — Local economy
Business in Dehradun
Boarding schools, defence academies and research institutes give Dehradun an unusual economy: the Doon School, the Indian Military Academy and the Forest Research Institute are all here. As Uttarakhand's capital it also runs on government, tourism to Mussoorie and the hills, and real estate, while the Selaqui industrial area makes pharmaceuticals and consumer goods, and Dehradun's basmati and litchi remain local specialities.
Also known as Dehra Dun and Doon.
Where software helps: Boarding schools and coaching academies manage term fees, hostel and mess charges, transport routes and parent communication for students from across India, often across several campuses.
