One of the biggest advantages of living in Hinjawadi Phase 1 is the ability to walk to work. If you work at Infosys, Wipro, KPIT, or Cognizant in Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, finding a PG within walking distance transforms your daily routine. This guide covers the best PG near Infosys, Wipro, and KPIT in Hinjawadi.
Why Walking Distance Matters
Walking to work saves you ₹2,000-₹4,000 monthly on transport. It eliminates the stress of Pune traffic, auto driver negotiations, and bus schedules. You gain 30-60 minutes daily that you would otherwise spend commuting. For IT professionals doing 9-hour shifts, that extra time is precious.
