While known as an administrative city, Chandigarh's economic footprint is expanding into tech and services.
* **IT and Tech:** Infosys operates a major campus in the Rajiv Gandhi IT Park. Other tech presences include Tech Mahindra and Net-Solutions. * **Manufacturing (Tricity):** While heavy industry is restricted in Chandigarh proper, neighboring Mohali houses giants like Swaraj Tractors (Mahindra & Mahindra) and SML Isuzu. * **Media:** The Tribune Trust is a significant local employer. * **Startups:** A growing ecosystem of ed-tech, agri-tech, and service startups operates out of local co-working spaces and the Chandigarh Innovation Circle.
