Hinjewadi Industry Association

What Hinjewadi Industry Association does

Hinjawadi Industries Association (HIA) is a not-for-profit industry association founded in 2008 and headquartered at Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park (RGIP), Phase I, Pune, Maharashtra, India. It is registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, 1950. HIA's core function is to serve as the collective body for IT/ITES and other companies operating within RGIP, representing 90+ member companies that collectively employ over 3 lakh (300,000+) people who commute to the park daily. The association's value proposition centers on addressing shared infrastructure, security, transportation, and regulatory challenges that individual tenants cannot solve in isolation.

HIA delivers operational services and advocacy programs rather than software or technology products. Its main service offerings are Metrozip (employee shuttle transportation, historically operated with vendors including ZipGo, Ford Smart Mobility's Officeride fleet of 115 buses, and CityGlide), the Joint Security Task Force (JSTF) providing 24x7 Quick Response Team patrols across RGIP and surrounding areas, and a CCTV surveillance initiative being designed in coordination with PCMC Smart City and EY. Additional programs include Clean & Green RGIP (tree plantation, beautification, traffic-circle landscaping — e.g., Cognizant Circle), HR committee initiatives (book reviews, yoga/wellness via Yogformance, women's self-defense via KBK-Raksha), and a structured government liaison function covering MIDC, PMRDA, PCMC, PWD, Police, and RTO.

HIA's business model is membership-fee funded and non-commercial; pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed. Revenue is governed by member-company dues, and governance is rotated among representatives of large anchor members including Infosys (President), Wipro (Vice President), eClerx (Secretary), and Expleo Group (Treasurer), with leadership elected every two years. The association markets itself primarily through its website (hiapune.in), quarterly bulletins, AGMs, and earned-media interactions with outlets such as Lokmat and Big Radio 95 FM. Distribution is direct to enterprise tenants within the RGIP geographic footprint.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Software Technology Parks of India (STPI): Government body that operates and promotes IT/ITES export-oriented units across India including Pune. Comparable as a stakeholder shaping the same IT park ecosystem HIA serves, but as a regulator/operator rather than a member-funded association.
• Confederation of Indian Industry (CII): India's largest broad-spectrum industry association. Comparable as an industry-association business model, but operates across all sectors and at national scale rather than a single industry vertical or geography.
• FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry): National multi-sector industry body. Comparable as an industry-association business model; a broader incumbent that addresses cross-industry policy while HIA focuses on a single industry cluster.

Direct peers

• NASSCOM: India's apex IT/ITES industry trade body. While NASSCOM operates nationally and HIA regionally, both function as collective-voice associations for IT/ITES employers on policy, infrastructure, and workforce issues — making them directly comparable as industry-association peers.
• HYSEA (Hyderabad Software Enterprises Association): Industry association of IT/ITES companies in Hyderabad. Mirrors HIA's structure: a city/cluster-level body representing software employers, liaising with state government on infrastructure, and running member-facing initiatives for IT park occupiers.

Others

• Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC): Owns and develops the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park land that HIA's members occupy. HIA's primary statutory liaison, making MIDC the most important institutional peer in terms of day-to-day operational interdependence.
• Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA): Statutory regional planning body that HIA regularly engages with on infrastructure. Comparable as a key counterpart rather than a competitor, but materially relevant because HIA's growth is heavily shaped by PMRDA's planning decisions.

Regional players

• TiE Pune (The Indus Entrepreneurs): Pune chapter of a global entrepreneur-networking association. A regional peer in the Pune business-association ecosystem, though focused on startups and founders rather than large enterprise IT/ITES employers.
