Business in Hosur
Just across the Karnataka border from Bengaluru, Hosur grew from a SIPCOT estate into a dense auto and engineering cluster, with TVS Motor and Ashok Leyland building two-wheelers, trucks and buses here. Titan makes watches and jewellery in the town, Tata Electronics produces smartphone components, and farms around it grow cut roses for export.
Where software helps: Component makers here supply plants on both sides of the state border, so they juggle inter-state GST, e-way bills, OEM call-offs and stock held at customer-end warehouses, often with daily deliveries.
