Amid businesses in India realising the advantages of the work-from-home (WFH) concept in the backdrop of the Coronavirus pandemic, there has been a major shift of the workforce towards tier-2 cities.
Amravati, also called Ambanagri, is a city of immense cultural and religious importance and a beautiful Tier 2 City of Maharastra. It is also called the cultural capital of the Vidarbha region. The cost of living is less, the work-life balance is better, much breathable air, fewer traffic bottlenecks and housing remains affordable, as compared to congested and eccentric metro cities of India. We firmly believe that they (tier-2) are the future talent hubs and job-creation centres. Our conviction has been borne out by the fact that tier-2 cities have made great strides in salary levels due to a lot of investments in building excellent physical and social infrastructure.
