Hinjewadi is home to Pune’s largest technology park, the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, spread across several phases on the city’s western edge. Thousands of people work here, and many live in the apartment complexes of Hinjewadi, Wakad, Maan and Marunji. For Myra members, life in Hinjewadi often revolves around long workdays and weekend breaks, so first dates tend to be close to home or saved for the weekend. Introductions here typically include people from Wakad, Baner, Balewadi, Pimple Saudagar and Tathawade. The surrounding countryside, with lakes and hills towards Mulshi, offers lovely weekend outings once you know someone. On weekdays, the cafés and restaurants around Wakad and the tech-park phases are convenient places for a short meeting after work. Weekends are much calmer, and many members use them for brunch in Wakad or a relaxed walk in a neighbourhood park. Before the IT park arrived in the late 1990s, Hinjewadi was a farming village known for its temple of Mhatoba, which still holds an annual fair. A few old village houses and fields survive between the glass campuses, a reminder of how quickly the area changed.
Where to meet in Hinjewadi
Wakad high street
A busy stretch of restaurants and cafés close to the tech parks. Public and convenient on weekday evenings.
Cafés inside the phases
Coffee shops near office campuses are calm after work hours and good for a quick first meeting.
Mulshi road drive
A scenic drive towards Mulshi lake, lush in the monsoon. Save it for a later date with someone you know well.

Getting around
The Hinjewadi Metro line connects the IT park to Shivajinagar. Many people use company shuttles and cab apps; the Hinjewadi flyover junction is congested at peak hours.
Good to know
- Roads between the phases are poorly lit at night. Book a ride from the venue rather than walking.
- Ghat roads towards Mulshi are winding and slippery in the rain. Travel in daylight only.
