Pune is one of India's major IT centres, anchored by the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjawadi, which spreads over 2,800 acres and hosts more than 800 companies. The city is also the headquarters of Tech Mahindra, which reported revenue of ₹56,815 crore in FY2026. This list covers ten IT companies based in Pune, with verified facts for each.
How we chose these companies
We included IT companies headquartered in Pune or with Pune named as a headquarters on their own websites. The list spans IT services, automotive and engineering software, cybersecurity and product engineering for software vendors, because Pune's strength lies in that range. Figures come from Wikipedia entries that cite annual reports, and from company websites.
XDQ Labs appears first because it publishes this list. It is based in Gurugram and works with clients in Pune remotely. The other nine companies are listed in no particular order, and inclusion is not a paid placement. If you spot an outdated figure, the sources at the end of this page show where each number came from.

How to choose an IT partner in Pune
Pune's specialisms matter a great deal when you pick a partner. If you build vehicles or vehicle software, KPIT and Tata Technologies bring deep automotive engineering experience. If you are a software vendor, firms like Persistent, Cybage and Calsoft work on product engineering for independent software vendors. For broad enterprise IT, Tech Mahindra and Zensar offer full-service delivery.
Whatever the size, ask for case studies in your industry, the experience of the actual team, and the vendor's approach to security and data protection. Clear acceptance criteria and milestone payments protect both sides, and a short paid pilot shows how the team works before you commit to a long contract.
- Shortlist by domain fit before comparing rates
- Ask about attrition on accounts similar to yours
- Check certifications such as ISO 27001 where data is sensitive
- Start with a small paid pilot before a long contract
Market context
Hinjawadi is the best known of Pune's IT hubs. The park alone sees roughly 2,40,000 employees commute each day, and a 23.3 km metro line raised above the road is being built to serve the area. That concentration of engineers, along with Pune's universities and automotive industry, explains why so many engineering services firms are based here.
Frequently asked questions

Tech Mahindra is the largest, with revenue of ₹56,815 crore and 1,47,623 employees in FY2026. Persistent Systems, with revenue of ₹14,748 crore in 2026, is the next largest Pune-headquartered IT services firm on this list.

Why does Pune have so many automotive software companies?
Pune has a large automotive manufacturing base and strong engineering colleges. KPIT began serving carmakers with engineering services, and Tata Technologies started as Tata Motors' design unit in 1989, so the city built deep skills in vehicle software and product engineering.
Can a company outside Pune serve Pune clients well?
Yes, if the vendor has clear communication routines, overlapping working hours and a plan for in-person workshops at key stages. Remote delivery is now standard in Indian IT, and many Pune firms themselves deliver to clients across the world.
