Krishnagiri district Hosur’s factories and the Bengaluru pull
Hosur, on the Tamil Nadu–Karnataka border, hosts two-wheeler, automotive and electronics manufacturing along with a wide supplier base. The rest of the district is agricultural, with mango and rose growers, granite units and small towns such as Krishnagiri, Uthangarai and Bargur.
Many young people from the district cross into Bengaluru for work, so IT and testing skills pair with manufacturing ones. Krishnagiri is the next district north-west of Vellore along the same highway corridor, so hybrid batches are easy to reach.
