01 — Local economy
Trade and services rather than factories drive Patna: as Bihar's capital and largest city it is the main wholesale and distribution point for the state's FMCG goods, medicines, textiles, grain and building materials. Government, hospitals, banks, coaching institutes and the Patna High Court are major employers, while manufacturing is scattered across the Patliputra, Fatuha and Bihta industrial areas, making bicycles, biscuits, beverages, tractors and leather goods.

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For wholesale & distribution that is often multi-warehouse inventory and price lists, schemes & discounts. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
