01 — Local economy

Business in Pune

Cars, two-wheelers and components come out of plants run by Bajaj, Tata Motors, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen around Pune, with supplier clusters at Chakan, Ranjangaon and Talegaon. Hinjewadi, Kharadi and Magarpatta host large IT and engineering-services campuses, the Serum Institute makes vaccines at Hadapsar, and the city's colleges draw students from across India.

Also known as Poona.

Where software helps: Tier-1 auto suppliers here serve several OEMs with different schedules, packaging and quality norms, so they need BOM-driven production planning, engineering-change control and traceability that survives customer audits.

04 — Working together

Same time zone, same tax system

Pune lies 950 km south of our Jaipur studio and shares Indian Standard Time, so calls, demos and support happen in normal working hours. Invoices raised in Maharashtra carry GST state code 27, and GST invoicing, e-invoicing and e-way bills are what our own SteelERP handles every day.

It has been an amazing experience — the skills and knowledge he brings is a game changer.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Pune: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Pune?

Yes. Our studio is in Jaipur, 950 km away, and we work with Pune businesses over video calls in normal Indian working hours, with working software every two weeks.

Can a custom ERP handle GST in Maharashtra?

Yes. Invoices raised in Maharashtra carry GST state code 27, with CGST and SGST on sales within the state and IGST on sales to other states. A custom ERP generates e-invoices through the IRP and e-way bills, as our own SteelERP does.

Can your AI agents talk to customers in Marathi, Hindi and English?

Yes. Current language models handle Marathi, Hindi and English well, including mixed-language messages. We still test an agent in each language your customers use before it goes live, and route anything it is unsure about to your team.

What would a first project look like for a auto-component business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For automotive & auto components that is often customer schedules & delivery plans and lot and heat-number traceability. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
