Pune itself is mostly unremarkable as a tourist destination. However, it is a paragon of modern India, a sprawling city of 4 million plus, and a rising technology hub that's lured companies like IBM and Cisco.
Being with my colleagues here has allowed me to experience a truer sense of daily life, and it's been wonderful. Here are a few more snapshots.
Manikchand Malabaar, apartments directly across the street from the Xento office. Property Solutions lets a 7th floor flat here, which is where I've been staying.
Xento team lunch, Nov 25. Everyday at 1pm the office orders out and eats together on the top floor of the building. Same restaurant each time, but different menu.
Some of the Xento team on a walk after lunch. Left to right: Gurunath Auti, Netaji Wakde, Shahjad Ali, Aniruddha Malvi.
A typical street view is littered with debris and trash. Anyone interested in a checkup?
View from the Property Solutions flat. Pune is larger than expected. Already on the southern outskirts, this view looks further south east and away from downtown, yet there continues to be development as far as you can see.

Pure awesome, bro. Thanks for sending these. How is the fooooood? I'm dying to try Indian in India.
Looks beautiful! Another place on the list to go.
Hey Brett..Laura (brown) here! Just found your site again and thought we'd keep up with it. You can check out blog out, too. (it's really mine...Blair doesn't blog much)
Way cool about being in India for your company. I guess that means things are going pretty well.
Blair and Cami say Hi too!
We will be leaving on the 15th...so we won't be here. But if you wanted to stay at our apartment on the way (if it's where you'll be stopping) we'd be happy to hide a key for you. We'll be in Utah from Dec 15th-Jan 1st. I just told Blair you'll be there and he's SO excited. Are you reachable by phone there in India? If not...when can he call you?
Great Photos! Looks and sounded like a wonderful adventure....
