Section 4 / City Distribution

Where in India this sector hires

Callout

Bangalore leads logistics and supply chain hiring at only around two in five, an unusually loose hold. Chennai stands out enormously, its port and freight base lifting it to around a quarter and second place. Mumbai Region sits at a negligible share. The southern coast clearly shapes this map.
