01Kanpur
Kanpur leather, ordnance and an IIT
Kanpur has long been India’s leather and footwear centre, with tanneries at Jajmau, and ordnance factories and a thermal power station anchor its engineering side. IIT Kanpur and other institutes add a research and start-up layer, while the defence corridor brings fresh supplier demand.
Factory staff and recent graduates both look for ways to move beyond manual drafting or paper accounts, which makes short, project-based online programmes attractive.
